Base-ten block piles kids read and name — from tens and ones through hundreds, tens and ones to mixed base-ten blocks. Each set prints with a matching answer key. Always free, no signup.
Open the place value builder →Start with tens and ones — two-digit numbers shown as ten-rods and unit cubes — until "three tens and four ones is 34" is automatic. Add hundred-flats for three-digit numbers, counting hundreds, tens and ones in that order. Then mix two- and three-digit piles of base-ten blocks so kids have to read the blocks rather than guess. Each worksheet above sets exactly one of those stages.
Base-ten blocks (or Dienes blocks) are a place-value model: a small unit cube is one, a rod is ten ones in a column, and a flat is a hundred ones in a 10×10 square. Building a number from blocks and then writing its digits is how kids connect the physical quantity to the way we write numbers.
Tens and ones start in Grade 1; hundreds, tens and ones come in Grade 2; and mixed base-ten block work runs from Grade 1 through Grade 3. Pick the page that matches where your child is.
