Let's solve the problem step by step.
The task is to
represent numbers using blocks, specifically counting how many
tens and
ones are shown in each model.
Each
long blue rod represents a
ten (10), and each
small blue cube represents a
one (1).
We'll go through each box one by one.
---
🔹 Box 1:
-
Tens: There are 3 long rods →
3 tens
-
Ones: There are 2 small cubes →
2 ones
✔ Answer:
3 tens, 2 ones
---
🔹 Box 2:
-
Tens: 4 long rods →
4 tens
-
Ones: 3 small cubes →
3 ones
✔ Answer:
4 tens, 3 ones
---
🔹 Box 3:
-
Tens: 3 long rods →
3 tens
-
Ones: Count the small cubes: 8 cubes →
8 ones
✔ Answer:
3 tens, 8 ones
---
🔹 Box 4:
-
Tens: 5 long rods →
5 tens
-
Ones: 6 small cubes →
6 ones
✔ Answer:
5 tens, 6 ones
---
🔹 Box 5:
-
Tens: 5 long rods →
5 tens
-
Ones: 3 small cubes →
3 ones
✔ Answer:
5 tens, 3 ones
---
🔹 Box 6:
-
Tens: 6 long rods →
6 tens
-
Ones: 1 small cube →
1 one
✔ Answer:
6 tens, 1 one
---
✔ Final Answers:
1.
3 tens, 2 ones
2.
4 tens, 3 ones
3.
3 tens, 8 ones
4.
5 tens, 6 ones
5.
5 tens, 3 ones
6.
6 tens, 1 one

🎯 Explanation:
This exercise helps students understand
place value — that a group of 10 ones makes a ten. By counting the rods (tens) and individual cubes (ones), we can write any number in terms of tens and ones.
For example:
- 3 tens + 2 ones = 32
- 6 tens + 1 one = 61
So, these models represent the numbers:
32, 43, 38, 56, 53, 61 respectively.
