How to Use
Children slide number tiles onto the teen or ten boards to form numbers like 13, 27, or 89. The boards isolate the tens (10–90), while the tiles allow the child to manipulate and complete the number using units (1–9). This approach promotes understanding of number structure and place value, and prepares the child for operations like addition and subtraction.
