Donnie the Deer walks slowly through the meadow with his satchel.
He has gathered 58 bright leaves.
"I want to give 23 leaves to Bennie," he says softly.
"How many will I have left?"
Bennie the Bear sets out the leaves in bundles of ten.
"Take away tens, then ones," he says.
Donnie has 5 tens and 8 ones. That is 58.
He gives away 23. That is 2 tens and 3 ones.
Take away the tens: 50 - 20 = 30.
Take away the ones: 8 - 3 = 5.
Put them together: 30 + 5 = 35.
Donnie has 35 leaves left.
