1st grade math · Unit 4: Counting and place value to 120

Ten more changes the tens

What this lesson shows

Fixes a mistake

Ten more than 23 is 33, not 24. The tens digit moves, the ones stay.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: 23. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

The steps

  1. One more changes the ones
  2. Ten more changes the tens
  3. One row down

Helping at home

Ten more adds a whole ten: the tens digit goes up by one and the ones digit stays. On a 120 chart, it is one row down.
