Note for Parents & Teachers
This follows the NCERT Class 1 Maths chapter on numbers 21 to 99. The key idea is that a two-digit number is made of tens and ones: 47 is 4 tens and 7 ones. Bundle 10 pencils or spoons with a rubber band and add loose ones to show this at home. The World Cup 2022 facts (32 teams, 64 matches) are as of the date this worksheet was written.
