Curriculum

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.NBT.A.1

Count to 120, starting at any number less than 120. In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.NBT.B.2

Understand that the two digits of a two-digit number represent amounts of tens and ones. Understand the following as special cases:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.NBT.B.2.A

10 can be thought of as a bundle of ten ones - called a "ten."
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.NBT.B.2.B

The numbers from 11 to 19 are composed of a ten and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.NBT.B.2.C

The numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine tens (and 0 ones).
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.A.1

Understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones; e.g., 706 equals 7 hundreds, 0 tens, and 6 ones. Understand the following as special cases:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.A.1.A

100 can be thought of as a bundle of ten tens - called a "hundred."
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.A.1.B

The numbers 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine hundreds (and 0 tens and 0 ones).
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.A.3

Read and write numbers to 1000 using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NBT.A.1

Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right. For example, recognize that 700 ÷ 70 = 10 by applying concepts of place value and division.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NBT.A.2

Read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form. Compare two multi-digit numbers based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NBT.A.3.A

Read and write decimals to thousandths using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form, e.g., 347.392 = 3 × 100 + 4 × 10 + 7 × 1 + 3 × (1/10) + 9 × (1/100) + 2 × (1/1000).

Math 1.2(B)

Use concrete and pictorial models to compose and decompose numbers up to 120 in more than one way as so many hundreds, so many tens, and so many ones;
Math 1.2(C)

Use objects, pictures, and expanded and standard forms to represent numbers up to 120;
Math 2.2(A)

Use concrete and pictorial models to compose and decompose numbers up to 1,200 in more than one way as a sum of so many thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones;
Math 2.2(B)

Use standard, word, and expanded forms to represent numbers up to 1,200;
Math 3.2(A)

Compose and decompose numbers up to 100,000 as a sum of so many ten thousands, so many thousands, so many hundreds, so many tens, and so many ones using objects, pictorial models, and numbers, including expanded notation as appropriate;
Math 3.2(B)

Describe the mathematical relationships found in the base-10 place value system through the hundred thousands place;
Math 4.2(A)

Interpret the value of each place-value position as 10 times the position to the right and as one-tenth of the value of the place to its left;
Math 4.2(B)

Represent the value of the digit in whole numbers through 1,000,000,000 and decimals to the hundredths using expanded notation and numerals;
Math 4.2(E)

Represent decimals, including tenths and hundredths, using concrete and visual models and money;
Math 5.2(A)

Represent the value of the digit in decimals through the thousandths using expanded notation and numerals;

A set of base-10 block cards to compose and decompose numbers, including decimals.

Use this resource when teaching students how to compose and decompose numbers, including decimals.

Print a set of base-10 block cards for each student to use during your place value unit. Call out a number and have your students build it using their cards. These cards are great to send home with students, to use at your small group table or in your math centers.

Cards include:

unis (ones)
rods (tens)
flats (hundreds)
cubes (thousands)

Use the drop-down menu to choose between the color or black and white version.
