Hundreds, tens and ones you can count
307 is three hundreds, no tens and seven ones — and the child who writes 37 for it has not seen the empty place. Blocks make the empty place something to look at.
Count each kind, then put them together.
A base ten blocks worksheet generator, printable as a PDF. Count mode draws hundreds flats, tens rods and ones cubes, each kind in its own group, with boxes for how many hundreds, tens and ones and the number they make. Draw mode gives the number and an empty box to draw it in — a square for a hundred, a stick for a ten, a dot for a one, the quick drawing US classrooms use — and the answer key draws the blocks. Pick numbers to 99 or to 999; about a quarter have a zero in the tens or ones place on purpose. A new set every time.
