It looks like you've uploaded an image of a math worksheet titled
"Place value using Numicon", where students are asked to
write the total value of each set of Numicon shapes.
Numicon is a hands-on learning tool that uses colored, patterned plastic pieces to represent numbers. Each shape has a number of circular holes corresponding to its value (e.g., 10-hole piece = 10, 5-hole piece = 5, etc.). The blue pieces typically represent tens (like 10), and smaller colored pieces represent ones (like 1–9).
Let’s go through each set in the image and calculate the total value based on standard Numicon patterns.

📝 Explanation:
- Each
blue rectangle with 10 holes represents
10.
- Smaller colored shapes represent values from 1 to 9 based on the number of holes.
- Add the values together to find the
total value of each group.
- This exercise teaches
place value: understanding tens and ones.
