Q1.
The donations are shown in the table below. Write the number in each case. — Rice, shown as 3 rods of ten and 9 single blocks.
DonationsQuantityNumber
Rice?
Answer
The rice donation, shown with Dienes blocks.

Count the rods first, then the single blocks.

3 rods of ten = 3 Tens = 30
9 single blocks = 9 Ones = 9
30 + 9 = 39
Number = 39
Why it happens: each rod is 10 blocks joined together, so 3 rods mean 3 tens, and the loose blocks are just ones.
Q2.
The donations are shown in the table below. Write the number in each case. — Wheat flour: 4 Ones + 7 Tens.
DonationsQuantityNumber
Wheat flour4 Ones + 7 Tens?
Answer
7 Tens = 70
4 Ones = 4
70 + 4 = 74
Number = 74
TensOnesNumber
7474
Tip: the order in which they are written does not change the number. 4 Ones + 7 Tens is the same as 7 Tens + 4 Ones.
Q3.
The donations are shown in the table below. Write the number in each case. — Pulses, shown as bundles of ten sticks with some loose sticks.
DonationsQuantityNumber
Pulses?
Answer
The pulses donation: bundles of ten sticks and a few loose sticks.

Count the bundles, then the loose sticks.

10 bundles of ten = 10 Tens = 100
3 loose sticks = 3 Ones = 3
100 + 3 = 103
Number = 103
Why it happens: ten tens make one hundred, so the 10 bundles together are 1 Hundred. With no tens left over we write 0 in the Tens place: 103.
Q4.
The donations are shown in the table below. Write the number in each case. — Pumpkins: 100 – 7.
DonationsQuantityNumber
Pumpkins100 – 7?
Answer
100 – 7
Take 7 away from 100.
100 – 7 = 93
Number = 93
Why it happens: 100 is 10 tens. Break one ten into 10 ones, take away 7, and 3 ones are left with 9 tens — that is 93.
Q5.
The donations are shown in the table below. Write the number in each case. — Leaf plates, shown with Dienes blocks.
DonationsQuantityNumber
Leaf plates?
Answer
The leaf-plate donation, shown with Dienes blocks.

Count the big flats, then the rods, then the single blocks.

4 flats = 4 Hundreds = 400
8 rods = 8 Tens = 80
2 blocks = 2 Ones = 2
400 + 80 + 2 = 482
Number = 482
HundredsTensOnesNumber
482482
Why it happens: each flat is 10 rods and each rod is 10 blocks, so the picture is already sorted into hundreds, tens and ones.
