Convert to/from a number – tens and ones

  • Numbers are made up of digits that represent different values based on their position.
  • The digit in the tens place shows how many groups of ten, while the ones place shows the leftover ones.
  • A number like 42 means 4 tens (40) and 2 ones (2).
  • Breaking down numbers helps in better understanding their composition.
  • Add the values of tens and ones together:
    Example: 3 tens + 5 ones = 30 + 5 = 35.
  • Identify the digit in the tens place and the ones place.
    Example: 58 has5 tens and8 ones.
