Thursday: Take away to ten

Chris the Coyote sits by the apple tree.

"This story is about apples falling," he says.

"Watch how Bennie uses ten to take away."

Story: Apples in the wind

Bennie had 13 apples in two baskets.

One basket held 10. The other held 3.

The wind blew. 4 apples rolled away.

First, all 3 from the small basket rolled out.

That left 10. Then 1 more rolled away.

Now Bennie had 9 apples.

Two ten-frames: one full, and three more counters

13 - 3 = 10. Then 10 - 1 = 9. So 13 - 4 = 9.
