Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have some fun with numbers. Let’s learn about place value using pearls on a string. Are you ready? Let’s get started!
Place value helps us understand how big or small a number is. We will use pearls to learn about tens and ones. Imagine pearls on a string. Each string of pearls represents tens, and single pearls represent ones.
Let’s look at our pearls. First, we count by tens. If we have one string of pearls, that’s 10. Now, let’s count the single pearls: 11, 12, 13, 14. So, the number we have is 14!
We can also use a T-chart to help us. A T-chart looks like a lowercase “t.” On the left side, we write tens, and on the right side, we write ones. Let’s try it:
This gives us the number 14 again. Great job!
Let’s try another one. Count by tens: 10, 20. Then count the single pearls: 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27. The number is 27!
Using the T-chart:
We have the number 27 again. You’re doing amazing!
Count by tens: 10, 20, 30. Then count the single pearls: 31, 32. The number is 32!
Using the T-chart:
We have the number 32. Fantastic!
Let’s do one last one with the T-chart:
This gives us the number 46. You did it!
You’ve done a wonderful job learning about place value today. Keep practicing, and you’ll become a number expert in no time. Thanks for learning with us. See you next time!
Pearl Necklace Craft: Create your own pearl necklace using beads and string. Use different colors to represent tens and ones. For example, use blue beads for tens and red beads for ones. Once you’ve made your necklace, count the beads to find out what number you have. Share your necklace with a friend and explain how you counted the beads to find the number.
Number Hunt: Go on a number hunt around your house or classroom. Look for numbers in books, on clocks, or even on food packages. Write down the numbers you find and use a T-chart to break them down into tens and ones. Can you find a number with more than three tens?
Build a Number Game: Use building blocks or LEGO pieces to represent tens and ones. Stack ten blocks together to make a “ten tower” and use single blocks for ones. Ask a friend or family member to give you a number, and then build it using your blocks. Explain how you used the blocks to show the number.

Okay, so we have practice on place value, and the directions say to look at the models below. The pearls on the string represent tens, and the single pearls represent ones. Circle the number each model shows.
We can do this a couple of different ways. The first way I’m going to show you is to count by tens and ones. One way to do it is to count how many pearls are on a string. This represents tens, so we will count by 10. There is only one string of tens, so we have 10. Then we count up: 11, 12, 13, 14. So the number is 14.
Another way to do it, which I prefer for organization, is to make a T-chart. A T-chart looks like a lowercase “t.” We will put tens on the left side and ones on the right side. Let’s count how many strings of ten we have. We have one, so we put a 1 on the left. Now, let’s count the individual pearls: 1, 2, 3, 4. We have four ones, so we write that on the right. This also gives us the number 14, which we can circle.
Now, let’s move on to the next one. We’ll count by tens again: 10, 20. From 20, we count up: 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27. That’s a quick way to do it. We find 27 and circle it.
Using the T-chart again, we have our tens on one side and ones on the other. We have two strings of ten, so we put a 2 on the left. For the ones, we count: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. We write 7 on the right. This gives us the same number, 27, which we can circle.
This time, let’s pick one method. We’ll count by tens: 10, 20, 30, then count up: 31, 32. We find 32 and circle it.
For the last one, let’s use the T-chart again. We have our tens place and our ones place. How many tens do we have? We have four strings of ten, so we put a 4 on the left. Now, let’s count the individual ones: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. We write 6 on the right. This gives us the number 46, which we will circle.
Great job today with your place value! Bye!
