Tuesday: Break a ten

Donnie has 52 acorns in his satchel.

He wants to share 27 with Riley.

He looks at the ones. "I have only 2 ones," he says.

"How can I take away 7?"

Bennie opens one bundle of ten.

"Now you have ten more ones," says Bennie. "Try again!"

Learn it: trade a ten for ten ones

Here is 52: 5 tens and 2 ones.

Base-ten blocks: 5 tens and 2 ones

There are not enough ones to take away 7.

Break one ten into ten ones.

Now there are 4 tens and 12 ones.

Take away the ones: 12 - 7 = 5.

Take away the tens: 4 - 2 = 2 tens.

So 52 - 27 = 25.

Base-ten blocks: 2 tens and 5 ones
