     Complete these sentences:

     17 = ___ten and ___ ones

     13 = ___ten and ___ ones

     19 = ___ten and ___ ones

     __ = one ten and six ones

     __ = one ten and two ones

     __ = one ten and zero ones

     Can you make teen numbers using bricks?

     Make ten sticks using ten bricks in one colour.

     Choose different colour bricks for your ones.

     Eg: tens sticks in yellow bricks and ones in blue.

     Label your numbers - make sure your digits are the

     right way around! 14 NOT 41!
