FAQ

What does it mean to 'build a number from tens and ones' in 1st grade?

Students take a stated number of tens and ones (e.g., 5 tens and 3 ones) and determine the resulting number (53), reversing the decomposition process.

How can building numbers from tens and ones be made interactive?

Use place value sliders or flip books where students physically combine a tens strip with a ones strip to reveal the composed two-digit number.

Does building numbers from tens and ones address CCSS standards?

Yes — CCSS 1.NBT.B.2 requires students to understand that two-digit numbers represent amounts of tens and ones, which building activities directly address.
