Wednesday: 10 more and 10 less

Bruce has 34 pinecones in his pile.

Bennie gives him a bag of 10 more.

"Now how many?" asks Bruce.

"Just add one ten," says Bennie.

34 is 3 tens and 4 ones.

Add one more ten. Now there are 4 tens.

The ones stay the same. So it is 44.

Base-ten blocks: 3 tens and 4 ones
Base-ten blocks: 4 tens and 4 ones
