Building numbers to 120

How to help

Break the number into tens and ones. To write it another way, trade one ten for ten ones: the tens go down by one and the ones go up by ten.

Watch for: Writing 47 = 4 + 7 instead of 40 + 7. Forgetting to add ten ones after trading a ten. Reading one hundred twelve as 10012.

At home: Build a number with coins: dimes for tens and pennies for ones. Then trade a dime for ten pennies and ask what the number is now.
