Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as an extension or enrichment block after students have a basic grasp of place value, roughly 30 to 45 minutes, either independently online or in small groups.
- Discussion question: Why does 12 tens equal 1 hundred and 2 tens, and how can base-10 blocks show that regrouping?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have students build the number with physical base-10 blocks first, then match each step of the worked example to what they built.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to create their own non-standard grouping problem, such as 2 hundreds, 15 tens, and 3 ones, and explain how to solve it.
- Estimated time: Plan about 35 minutes for the review, the worked example, and the challenge problems.
