Frequently asked questions
What are base ten blocks?
Small cubes are ones, rods of 10 cubes are tens and flat squares of 100 cubes are hundreds. They make place value something kids can see.
What is expanded form?
Writing a number as the sum of its place values: 365 = 300 + 60 + 5.
My child writes 'forty-two' as 402. Why?
That is a very common place value mix-up. Counting rods and cubes on these worksheets helps kids see that 42 is 4 tens and 2 ones.
