Place Value (Tens and Ones) — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. ones
2. tens
3. place
4. value
5. digit
6. number
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The number 61 has 6 tens.
In 61, the digit 6 is on the left in the tens place, so the number has 6 tens (worth 60).
2. The number 45 has 5 ones.
In 45, the digit 5 on the right is in the ones place, so the number has 5 ones.
3. 7 tens and 8 ones make 78.
7 tens is 70 and 8 ones is 8, so adding them gives 70 + 8 = 78.
4. The number 90 has 0 ones.
In 90, the ones place holds a 0, which means there are no extra ones — just 9 full tens.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. 2 tens and 6 ones make 26.
True False
This is true because 2 tens is 20 and 6 ones is 6, and 20 + 6 = 26.
2. The number 53 has 3 tens.
True False
This is false because in 53 the 5 is in the tens place, so 53 has 5 tens (not 3) — the 3 is in the ones place.
3. The number 14 has 4 ones.
True False
This is true because the digit 4 in 14 is on the right in the ones place, giving 4 ones.
