You're working on a “Tens & Ones” place value worksheet — a foundational math concept for young learners. The goal is to count the base-ten blocks shown in each box and write the total number by breaking it into
tens and
ones, then writing the full number.

🔢 Base Ten Blocks Explained:
- A
vertical rod (long) = 10 units → represents
“Tens”
- A
small cube (dot or square) = 1 unit → represents
“Ones”
So, if you see:
- 1 rod + 3 cubes → that’s 1 ten and 3 ones → total =
13

Let’s go through each box one by one:

##
✔ Box 6 (Bottom Right)
-
Tens: 1 rod →
