What is Regrouping?
Regrouping is like trading small blocks for bigger ones!
When we have 10 single blocks (ones), we can trade them for 1 long block (ten). This makes counting and adding much easier!
How to Regroup
1️⃣ Count your ones blocks (up to 9 is fine!)
2️⃣ When you reach 10 ones, trade them for 1 tens block
3️⃣ Now you have fewer blocks to count - how smart!
Let's Practice Together!
Example 1: The Block Exchange
Count these ones blocks. Can we make a trade?
Example 2: Cookie Sharing
Emma has 14 cookies. She wants to pack them in boxes of 10. How many boxes can she make?
Parent Tips 🌟
- Use real objects like buttons or beans to practice regrouping - kids love hands-on learning!
- Make it a game: "Can you find 10 small items to trade for 1 special big item?"
- Connect to everyday situations: grouping crayons, packing snacks, or organizing toys.
