Understanding Tens and Ones with Chocolate! 🍫

Place value can be tricky for kids, but using something familiar—like chocolate—makes it easier! Here's how you can introduce the concept of tens and ones to your child:

🔢 Start with Pieces (Ones Place): Show your child a single chocolate piece and explain that each piece represents one unit. Let them count individual pieces to understand small numbers.

🍫 Introduce Bars (Tens Place): Once they collect 10 chocolate pieces, show them how these pieces combine into a chocolate bar. Explain that instead of counting each piece separately, they can now think of it as "one group of ten."

🔄 Make it Interactive: Ask your child to enter a number in the app and watch the pieces transform into bars when they reach 10. Help them see that numbers like 23 mean two chocolate bars (20) and three single pieces (3).

By linking numbers to something they can see and touch, kids naturally grasp how tens and ones work, making math more intuitive and fun! 🎉
