10 and some more
Seeing the teens as a full ten and some more: 14 is 10 and 4. This is the start of place value.
New sheets start on target. You can also print an easier one or a harder one.
What your child will see
The whole sheet as it prints. Every new sheet has different numbers.
Count the eggs. Write the missing numbers.
Two minutes at home
- Ask
- How many eggs in the full box? So how many altogether?
- Play
- Put 10 pasta pieces in a cup and a few more beside it. Say "10 and 3 is 13", then change the few.
Common mistakes and how to help
Wrote only the eggs in the second box, as in 4 for 14: the full box of ten got left out.
Try this: Point to the full box and say "10", then count on along the second box: "11, 12, 13, 14".
Wrote the whole number where the eggs in the second box go, as in "10 and 14": which part is which may not be clear yet.
Try this: Cover the full box with a hand and ask "how many can you see now?", then uncover it: "and altogether?"
The digits are the wrong way round, as in 41 for 14. "Fourteen" says the 4 first, but we write the 1 first.
Try this: Say "fourteen is ten and four" and write the 1 for the ten first, then the 4.
One more or one less: an egg was counted twice or skipped.
Try this: Touch each egg in the second box as you count it. The rows go in fives.
The answer is a long way off: a teen as 10 and some more may not make sense yet.
Try this: Make teens with 10 pasta pieces in a cup and a few more beside it. Say "10 and 3 is 13" together.
