Let’s play with numbers!

Girl

Box

Kate has a box full of white building blocks. What would be the easiest way to count them?

Put the building blocks in groups of 10.

Boxes

 

As you can see there are 5 groups of blocks of 10 and 3 individual blocks. That means we have 53 blocks. Using math language we can say:

Table

Boy

John has an other box full of building blocks. Let’s find out how many blocks he has.

Boxes

After counting you know he has 59 building blocks.

Worksheet 1

Let’s try this with larger numbers!

Jim has a large fish tank full of small fish. He wants to count them. He groups them like this:

After counting you know he has 222 fish.

Worksheet 2

Let’s play with this machine below!

We put in 500, 20, 6. Let’s see what comes out of the machine.

The result is 526.

Look at the table below.

Let’s write this using math language:

Let’s continue playing with the numbers.

We can write numbers different ways. For example we can say

9 hundreds + 3 tens + 3 ones = 933

or

900 + 30 + 3 = 933

or

933 = 9 hundreds + 3 tens + 3 ones

or

933 = 900 + 30 + 3
