Teen Numbers & Place Value - FREEBIES
KINDERGARTEN MATH - TEEN NUMBERS AND PLACE VALUE
We have come so far in kindergarten math this year!
My sweet kinders now have 1:1 correspondence down, they can write and recognize numerals 1-10, we covered geometry, measurement and data…. so now we are tackling those tricky teens and place value.
This is a fun unit to teach, and I am sharing freebies with you right here on this blog post.
I usually get to this unit in about February.

Teaching the Number and Operations in Base 10 Common Core Kindergarten Math Unit is trickier than it appears!
We are working with numbers 11-19 to gain foundations for place value.
Essentially, it is teaching place value and teen numbers. We want students to learn that teen numbers can be made with a group of ten (ones), plus some extra ones. It is a fun math unit that I enjoy teaching, but those teen numbers can be tricky!
In late winter/early spring, we tackle our Number and Operations in Base 10 math unit.
In this unit we learn about all about place value and those tricky teen numbers!
I did my best to organize this unit as I do all my math units – so it is easy for you to implement and use.
I keep my math units in three-ring binders. I use page protectors to keep my lessons and black lines organized - no more filing cabinets to dig through!
I love this because it keeps my papers nice and smooth, and it is so easy to flip through and see what I have to grab exactly what I need.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.NBT.A.1
Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each composition or decomposition by a drawing or equation (such as 18 = 10 + 8); understand that these numbers are composed of ten ones and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.
This is a peek at what I use for pre/post tests for this unit. The pre and post tests are pretty much exactly the same, but the numbers, pictures, etc. are different. This will give you accurate data for growth.
I also send home standards checklists to parents so they have a heads-up as to what we are working on in math. I do this before all of my math units. This way there are no surprises at report card time and parents can help at home. These are great to slip in my lesson plan binders too!
Since there is only one common core standards in this unit, two sheets can print per page (other units make up a whole page.)
I have found that they key to success with this unit is practice, practice, practice.
I use a variety of approaches and techniques so my students are exposed to the vocabulary and strategies for solving these problems over and over again. It is easy for them to mix up terms such as tens, ones, teens, etc. … so we do lots of hands-on activities and reinforcement worksheets to help them understand.
To start the unit, I show this video. Kids have a really hard time especially with numbers 11, 12 and 13.
So we always sing, “Numbers in the teens they start with a ONE!”
My first goal is getting them to recognize the numerals 11-20 and then we work on writing them as well. I show them this video every day for about a week, and soon you’ll be walking around singing this song.
We have been using ten frames and number lines all year, so my students are familiar with how to use them.
We practice making teen numbers in a variety of ways. We find the number on the number line, fill in the ten frames and then move on to JUMPING on number lines.
We start at ten and "hop" up. This is an awesome activity for visual learners because they see the frog, bunny, leprechaun and spider jumping to a teen number. The whole idea of ten+ones makes sense to them this way.
Another way we practice making teen numbers from ten ones + additional ones is counting how many objects. Your higher kids will pick up on the fact that the first group always has ten on these worksheets, so really they just have to count the second set (cupcakes, bees, gum balls.)
The video below is an excellent way to show that teen numbers are a group of ten and extra ones.
When we are “building” teen numbers with base then blocks, or counting a group of then and adding extra ones, I sing this song with them.
Same with the ten frames - we want students to recognize that they don't actually have to count the full ten frames.
We know this group has ten. I want my kids to count like this, "10, 11, 12, 13" instead of having to start at one.
We always love the cut and paste activities. This always helps to keep my busy kiddos engaged.
Base ten blocks help so much with place value.
Practicing one more/one less with teen numbers along with ordering teen numbers is always needed practice.
The worksheets and activities help my students tremendously. They need the repetitive practice, and even better they really love these activities! These help me stay organized so I know I am hitting all the standards. Keep these activities in page protectors too!
Teaching place value to five and six year olds is tricky to say the least!
We also do mini warm ups most days with these math journals.
Math Centers for Number and Operations in Base 10
Use with or without the coordinating recording sheet.
So many ways to play.
Use dry erase makers with the laminated cards, and then they fill out their recording sheet.
Hang the adorable teen number posters at this center and students can reference them while filling out their teen books.

“Kiddos showed a drastic improvement from pre test to post test. Such a believer in these lessons.”
“Very comprehensive and easy to use. Loved how everything was planned out.”
“So quick, easy and engaging! LOVE!”
“This is an excellent practice for students with counting and cardinality. There are pretests/posttests, worksheets, and center station activities. I have purchased two of the units so far, and I plan to get the rest. You can't beat the price for $10.00.”
