Today we'll play a fun relay game to practice place value. Remember, in our base-ten system, tens are like teams and ones are individual players!

📌 Key Talking Points:
  • Tens are groups of 10
  • Ones are individual numbers less than 10
  • Every number has a special place value home
💬 Discussion Questions:
  • How many tens are in 45?
  • What does the 4 represent in 45?
