## Lesson: Reading and writing numbers to 100

Numbers from 10 to 99 have two digits. The first digit shows tens. The second digit shows ones. One hundred is special: it has three digits.

*(drawing: 1 group of ten and 6 more make 16.)*

**Example.** Mia has 52 stickers. She counts 5 tens and 2 ones. She writes the number 52.

**Tip.** Look at the first digit for tens. Look at the second digit for ones. That tells you the whole number.

**Recap.** Two-digit numbers have a tens digit and a ones digit.
