Make the number 6 using units and/or tens.
To solve this problem of making the number 6 using visual representations, we will utilize unit blocks. Each unit represents 1, so to make the number 6, we need:
Let us examine the choices provided:
Choice 1 consists of a tens block and one unit block, representing 11, which is more than 6.
Choice 2 consists of 3 unit blocks, equaling 3, which is less than 6.
Choice 3 consists of 6 unit blocks exactly, summing to 6, accurately representing the number 6.
Choice 4 consists of multiple tens blocks, which sum to values greater than 6.
Thus, choice 3 correctly uses 6 unit blocks to represent the number 6.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is the visual representation in Choice 3.
What number do the blue squares below represent?
A units block is a small square that represents 1. A tens block is a long rectangle made of 10 unit squares that represents 10. Think of it like: 1 tens block = 10 units blocks!
No, because one tens block equals 10, which is already bigger than 6! You can only make 6 using unit blocks since 6 is less than 10.
Count each individual unit block one by one. If you see 6 separate small squares (unit blocks), that makes the number 6. Don't count by tens when making single-digit numbers!
Always double-check by counting! If your blocks add up to more or less than your target number, you've chosen incorrectly. For 6, you need exactly 6 unit blocks, no more, no less.
For the number 6, you can only use 6 unit blocks because 6 is less than 10. Once you learn larger numbers, you could make 16 with 1 tens block + 6 units blocks!
