Let's solve each problem on the
Place Value Worksheet 1 by interpreting the
base ten blocks.
🔷 Understanding Base Ten Blocks:
-
Large purple square =
100 (hundreds)
-
Pink rod =
10 (tens)
-
Small green cube =
1 (ones)
We will count how many of each block there are in each question and add them up.

✔ Problem 1:
-
Purple squares: 3
-
Pink rods: 4
-
Green cubes: 4
Calculation:
(3 × 100) + (4 × 10) + (4 × 1) = 300 + 40 + 4 =
344
👉
Answer: 344
---
✔ Problem 2:
-
Purple squares: 6
-
Pink rods: 2
-
Green cubes: 1
Calculation:
(6 × 100) + (2 × 10) + (1 × 1) = 600 + 20 + 1 =
621
👉
Answer: 621
---
✔ Problem 3:
-
Purple squares: 4
-
Pink rods: 7
-
Green cubes: 6
Calculation:
(4 × 100) + (7 × 10) + (6 × 1) = 400 + 70 + 6 =
476
👉
Answer: 476
---
✔ Problem 4:
-
Purple squares: 5
-
Pink rods: 3
-
Green cubes: 9
Calculation:
(5 × 100) + (3 × 10) + (9 × 1) = 500 + 30 + 9 =
539
👉
Answer: 539
---
✔ Problem 5:
-
Purple squares: 2
-
Pink rods: 0
-
Green cubes: 3
Calculation:
(2 × 100) + (0 × 10) + (3 × 1) = 200 + 0 + 3 =
203
👉
Answer: 203
---
✔ Problem 6:
-
Purple squares: 8
-
Pink rods: 6
-
Green cubes: 0
Calculation:
(8 × 100) + (6 × 10) + (0 × 1) = 800 + 60 + 0 =
860
👉
Answer: 860
---
✔ Final Answers:
| Question | Number Represented |
|--------|-------------------|
| 1 | 344 |
| 2 | 621 |
| 3 | 476 |
| 4 | 539 |
| 5 | 203 |
| 6 | 860 |

✔ Summary:
Each number is formed by adding hundreds, tens, and ones based on the base ten blocks shown. The key is to count each type of block and multiply by their place value (100, 10, or 1), then sum them.
