Six pictures of base ten blocks: tall rods that are ten units stuck together, and single units beside them. Children count the rods (the tens) and the units (the ones), write both in the boxes, then write the number they make: 4 rods and 7 units is 47. Each rod has its ten little squares drawn on, so children who are not sure can count them, and the rods and units can be coloured in online too.
