Tens + Ones Place Value Kit | Hands-On Base 10 Learning
Build • Count • Break Apart • Understand
Turn place value into something children can see, touch and build with our Tens + Ones Place Value Kit — a hands-on maths resource designed to help young learners understand how numbers are composed using groups of tens and individual ones.
Children choose a number card and use the included manipulatives to recreate the number, placing the tens rods in the Tens column and the individual cubes in the Ones column.
For example:
24 = 2 tens + 4 ones
Children place two tens rods and four individual ones onto the card, giving them a concrete visual representation of what the digits in 24 actually mean.

Making Place Value Concrete
Place value can be difficult to understand when children only see numbers written on a page.
Using physical manipulatives helps show that the digits within a number have different values depending on their position. Children can physically separate a number into tens and ones, build it and then put the quantities back together.
It turns an abstract maths concept into a meaningful hands-on learning experience.
Perfect for early elementary learning, maths centres, small groups, intervention activities, homeschool and learning at home.
