In this lesson, children learn about the concept of place value through the engaging activity of counting apples. By grouping apples into tens and hundreds, they discover how to simplify counting large numbers and understand the significance of each digit’s position in a number, such as ones, tens, and hundreds. The lesson emphasizes the importance of grouping and place value charts to make counting more efficient and enjoyable.
  1. How did grouping the apples by tens help us count them faster?
  2. What does each digit in the number 127 mean in place value?
  3. Can you tell me what the one’s place, ten’s place, and hundred’s place are?

ONES, TENS AND HUNDREDS – The Place Value of Numbers – Math for Kids

Hi friends! Welcome to my farm. It’s time to pick all the apples from the trees and count them. Will you help me? Let’s go!

Counting Apples the Easy Way

One, two, three, four… there are too many apples to count one by one! Let’s try something different. If we make groups of ten apples, counting will be easier. Look, I have five groups of ten apples and three apples left over. So, if I add all the groups plus the three apples, I get 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 3, which equals 53 apples in total. Wow, that was much faster!

Counting Even More Apples

Here’s another pile of apples. I have 12 groups of 10 apples and 7 single apples left over. That’s a lot of groups! I know what to do. I can make a new group. Ten groups of ten apples each give me 100 apples. Then I have two groups of 10 apples and 7 single apples left over. So, 100 + 20 + 7 equals 127 apples. Amazing! Grouping apples by 10 or 100 helps us count big numbers quickly.

Understanding Place Value

Did you know that each digit in a number has a special meaning? This is called place value. We counted 127 apples. Each digit, 1, 2, and 7, has a place value. Let’s see how it works!

We use a place value chart to show the place value of each digit. There’s the one’s place, ten’s place, and hundred’s place. We count up to nine in the one’s place. When we reach ten, we move to the ten’s place. We continue counting until ninety-nine. When we reach a hundred, we move to the hundred’s place. The place value increases as we go from ones to hundreds.

Putting It All Together

Since we counted 127 apples, we can place seven single apples in the one’s place. We had two groups of ten apples, so we place the two in the ten’s place. Finally, we had one group of 100 apples, which we made with the 10 groups of 10 apples. We place the one in the hundred’s place. One is in the hundred’s place, two is in the ten’s place, and seven is in the one’s place. One hundred apples plus twenty apples plus seven apples gives us 127 apples. Cool, right?

Thanks for Helping!

We finished counting all these apples! Grouping the apples by 10 and by 100 was a great idea, and using the place value chart made it even easier. Thank you for helping me today! Now it’s time for some apple pies. See you later!

We’ve learned so much today! Did you know there are many more fun things to learn? Keep exploring and have fun with numbers!

  1. Can you think of other things you might count in groups of ten or one hundred to make counting easier? What are they, and how would you group them?
  2. Have you ever helped someone count something, like toys or snacks? How did you do it, and did you use any special tricks to make it faster?
  3. Imagine you have a big box of crayons. How would you organize them using what you learned about place value? Would you make groups, and how would you count them?
  1. Apple Grouping Game: Gather some small objects like buttons, coins, or blocks. Pretend these are apples. Try to group them into sets of ten. Once you have ten groups of ten, make a group of 100. Count how many objects you have in total. Can you write the number using the place value chart? Share your findings with a friend or family member!

  2. Place Value Treasure Hunt: Go on a treasure hunt around your home to find numbers. Look at clocks, calendars, or even books. Write down a few numbers you find. Use a place value chart to break down each number into hundreds, tens, and ones. For example, if you find the number 245, you would have 2 in the hundreds place, 4 in the tens place, and 5 in the ones place. Discuss what each digit represents with someone at home.

  3. Create Your Own Story: Imagine you have a farm with different fruits. Write a short story about how you would count them using groups of ten and a place value chart. Draw pictures to show your groups of ten and how you use the place value chart to count your fruits. Share your story with your class or family!

Hi friends! Welcome to my farm. It’s harvest time, which means I need to pick all the apples from the trees and count them. Will you help me? Let’s go!

One, two, three, four… there are too many apples to count! There must be an easier way. If I make groups of ten apples each, then counting might be easier. Let’s see… it looks like I have five groups of ten apples and three apples left over. If I add all the groups plus three apples, I get ten plus ten plus ten plus ten plus three, which equals 53 apples in total. Wow, that was way faster than counting one apple at a time!

Here’s another pile of apples I need to count. It looks like I have 12 groups of 10 apples and 7 single apples left over. That’s a lot of groups I have to add together. I’ve got it! I can make a new group. Ten groups of ten apples each gives me 100 apples. Then I have two groups of 10 apples and 7 single apples left over, meaning 100 plus 20 plus 7 equals 127 apples. Amazing! I can group the apples by 10 or group them further by a hundred to quickly count large quantities.

Did you know that each digit in a number has a meaning? This is called place value. We counted 127 apples; each digit, 1, 2, and 7, has a place value. Let’s look! We use a place value chart to show the place value of each digit. This is the one’s place, ten’s place, and hundred’s place. We count till nine under the one’s place. When we get to ten, we move to the ten’s place. We continue counting till ninety-nine. When we get to a hundred, we move again to the hundred’s place. As you can see, the place value increases as we go from ones to hundreds.

Since we counted 127 apples earlier, we can place seven single apples under the one’s value. We had two groups of ten apples, so we can place the two groups under the ten’s value. Finally, we had one group of 100 apples, which we made with the 10 groups of 10 apples. We can place the one group under the hundred’s value. One is in the hundred’s place, two is in the ten’s place, and seven is in the one’s place. One hundred apples plus twenty apples plus seven apples gives us 127 apples. Cool, huh?

I finished counting all these apples! Grouping the apples by 10 and by 100 was a great idea, and so was using the place value chart to put the digits in the correct place values: ones, tens, and hundreds. This made counting all the apples way easier. Thank you for helping me today! Time for some apple pies. See you later!
