Understanding "tens" numbers, or the concept of place value with tens and units, is foundational for children's mathematical development and is crucial for ages 3-9. This early comprehension sets the stage for more advanced mathematical learning, literacy, and life skills.

Firstly, grasping the concept of tens helps children easily manage larger numbers, making addition, subtraction, and other arithmetic operations more intuitive. For instance, recognizing that 12 is made up of 1 ten and 2 ones accelerates their ability to add and subtract efficiently.

Secondly, a solid understanding of tens provides a basis for later mathematical concepts like multiplication, division, and even fractions. When children see numbers in groups of ten, it helps them visualize and manipulate numbers more easily.

Additionally, early exposure to the concept boosts problem-solving skills and logical thinking. It encourages children to think about numbers in more flexible ways, fostering a deeper understanding that will benefit them throughout their education.

Finally, in practical life, understanding tens is crucial for skills like counting money, measuring items, and telling time. By mastering this concept early on, children are not only preparing for academic success but also gaining essential life skills. Therefore, parents and teachers should prioritize teaching “tens” to ensure a strong mathematical foundation.
