Understanding tens and ones is like building with LEGOs! Imagine you have LEGO bricks. If you have ten LEGOs, you can put them together to make one big tower. That tower is like a 'ten'. If you have extra LEGOs that aren't enough to make a whole tower, those are like 'ones'. So, any number can be made up of some towers of ten and some extra ones!
For example, the number 23 has two towers of ten (2 tens) and three extra LEGOs (3 ones). Easy peasy, right? Let's practice!
Match the word with its definition:

Use the words tens, ones, digit, number, and place value to complete the sentences.
If you have 3 tens and 7 ones, what $number$ do you have? Explain how you know.
