Why Zero Matters in a Two-Digit Number
Name:

Today I am practising: interpreting zero ones in a multiple of ten
1
Write the numeral for 4 tens and 0 ones.
2
Compare 6 and 60. Draw a representation of each.
3
A learner writes 7 for 7 tens and no loose ones. Correct the numeral and explain.
4
Complete 80 = ___ tens + ___ ones.
5
Write the multiple of ten between 30 and 50.
6
Choose 20 or 2 to represent two bundles of ten. Explain what zero records.
- Keep an empty ones column visible beside the tens.
- Avoid describing zero as meaningless; it identifies the empty place.
- Read the numeral aloud after the learner builds it.
