Engage students in building foundational place-value skills with this versatile cut-and-paste activity using ten-blocks (ones, tens, hundreds). This digital PDF download includes four worksheets that gradually increase in challenge.

Each worksheet is provided in two versions: a full-color version (ideal for laminating and re-using in math centers) and a black-and-white version (for easy printing and writing).
This resource is designed for 1st- and 2nd-grade students who are ready to cut, sort, paste and write to demonstrate their understanding of ones, tens and hundreds.

Why you’ll love this resource:

• Differentiated sequencing: start with simple ones and build to hundreds
  
• Hands-on cut-and-paste format supports fine motor skills and active engagement
  
• Color versions make it center-friendly and reusable; B/W versions keep costs low
  
• Ideal for small-group instruction, math centers, morning work, or independent practice
  
• Supports place-value vocabulary (ones, tens, hundreds), grouping of tens and hundreds, composing and decomposing numbers
  
• Clear teacher directions included
  

How to use it in your classroom:

1. Print the color version and laminate; give students dry-erase markers or sticky pieces to fill in the tens/ones/hundreds cutouts.
   
2. Use the black-and-white version for individual practice or homework.
   
3. Have students cut out block-images (or numbers) then paste them into place-value charts and write the number they represent.
   
4. Use as a center station: rotate through the four worksheets as students build through ones → tens → hundreds.
   
5. Encourage students to say aloud “3 hundreds, 2 tens, 4 ones = 324” as they complete the activity.
