Understanding tens numbers is foundational for the development of strong numeracy skills in 6-year-olds. At this age, children transition from basic counting to more complex arithmetic, and grasping the concept of tens numbers (e.g., 10, 20, 30) is crucial in this process.

Firstly, tens numbers form the building blocks of our base-10 numbering system. Comprehending these units helps children recognize patterns and relationships within numbers, making future math concepts easier to understand. For instance, knowing that 30 is three groups of 10 aids in grasping larger numbers and helps demystify addition and subtraction involving higher values.

Secondly, fluency with tens numbers enhances a child’s ability to perform mental math. When children can decompose numbers into tens and ones, they quickly learn strategies for operations like 'making ten,' which simplifies addition and subtraction. For example, understanding that 12 can be seen as 10 + 2 allows quicker calculations, such as solving 12 + 8 by first making 20 (10 + 10).

Lastly, familiarity with tens numbers fosters confidence and reduces math anxiety. As children master these early skills, they build a solid foundation that encourages a positive attitude towards math. This confidence lays the groundwork for future academic achievements and everyday problem-solving skills.

Hence, educators and parents should prioritize teaching tens numbers to support the child’s overall mathematical development.
