Original Prompt

1.2B Use concrete and pictorial models to compose and decompose numbers. Use base 10 blocks as a model and be sure to show the relationship between place values. When you made 10 in any place value, it gets regrouped to the next highest place value

This learning resource focuses on introducing Base 10 blocks, which are a visual and hands-on tool used to teach the concept of place value and regrouping in math. It explains the different components of Base 10 blocks, such as units (ones), rods (tens), and flats (hundreds), and illustrates how to compose and decompose numbers using these blocks. The resource emphasizes the process of regrouping when sums exceed ten, guiding students on how to represent numbers like 23 and 45 using tens and ones. With interactive exercises, learners are encouraged to practice their skills by drawing numbers, adding, and regrouping, thereby reinforcing their understanding of basic arithmetic operations.
