Understanding Tens Rods and Values

The video tutorial explains how to determine the number represented by an image of tens rods. The instructor verifies the rods as tens rods and counts them to find the total number. By counting each rod as ten, the instructor concludes that the image represents the number 100. The process involves counting by tens and understanding the place value system.
