The multiples of 10
Understand that the multiples of 10 (10, 20, 30 … 90) represent one to nine tens and 0 ones
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“The multiples of 10 means practising the idea at the table with counters or paper models and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.”
Bring to the table
- Place-value cards or columns (hundreds/tens/ones)
- Digit cards 0–9
Extra for the adult
Worked example. In 243, the 2 means 2 hundreds, the 4 means 4 tens, the 3 means 3 ones.
Optional challenge. For The multiples of 10, add one harder example after success.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: examples tried; results; support used. This session samples The multiples of 10, not mastery.

The multiples of 10 means practising the idea at the table with counters or paper models and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.
Materials: Place-value cards or columns (hundreds/tens/ones); Digit cards 0–9. Adult builds 243 and names hundreds, tens, ones. Child builds three numbers and names each place. Done: three numbers built with correct place names. Stop after the fresh check; keep optional challenge for another day.

Check understanding
- Explain that 30 means 3 tens and 0 ones
- Represent 50 using 5 tens rods and no unit cubes
- Match decade numbers to their tens representation
“Can your child explain that 60 means 6 tens and no ones — and that this is why the ones column has a zero as a placeholder?”
