Batter Up! Place Value, Tens and Ones

Understanding the concepts of tens and ones, a foundational place value skill, is very difficult for students to grasp. Knowing that a "ten" can be counted as a unit but also represents 10 ones requires lots of hands-on activities. Adorable baseball-themed frogs decorate this set of 8 different workstations that provide hands-on experiences. Includes 4 reproducibles, which are perfect for accountability or assessment.
