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!"
Here is 52: 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.
To find 53 - 6, hop back 3 to get to 50.
Then hop back 3 more to get to 47.
