Understanding tens numbers, or the concept of place value, is foundational for children aged 7-9 because it underpins most mathematical learning and reasoning they will encounter. This key concept helps children grasp that numbers are built using a system of tens, which is crucial as they advance to more complex mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

When children comprehend that each digit in a number has a specific value depending on its position, they can purposefully manipulate numbers through regrouping or borrowing across place values. It also aids visual and cognitive understanding of larger numbers compared to merely rote counting, enabling children to estimate, round numbers, and recognize patterns—skills vital in problem-solving and real-life applications.

Additionally, tens numbers are intertwined with our monetary system, measurement units, and many logical systems, making this understanding relevant beyond the classroom. Struggling with these basics can create a significant obstacle in advanced math, while mastering them promotes confidence, academic success, and lifelong analytical skills. Therefore, teachers and parents must ensure children have a solid grasp of tens numbers to build a strong mathematical foundation that supports ongoing education and everyday competency.
