BLOCK COUNTING

place value · counting by tens and ones up to 100

To count blocks, up to 100

BLOCK COUNTING is a Kindergarten place value game for counting groups of tens and ones up to 100. Players draw 10-block cards and single-block cards, organize them by type, and say the number represented by the collection. The visual grouping helps students connect counting by tens with the leftover ones instead of treating every object as a separate count.

Use it in a small group when students are beginning to see two-digit numbers as composed of tens and ones. Listen for whether they count efficiently by tens, then ones, and whether they can explain what each group contributes to the total.
