Chapter Overview
Ten ones can be exchanged for one bundle of ten.
Counting in Tens connects bundles of ten objects with multiples of ten. Learners count 10, 20, 30 and onward, and understand that the tens digit tells how many complete bundles there are.
Bundles of Ten
- 1 bundle of ten is 10.
- 4 bundles of ten are 40.
- A multiple of ten has 0 in the ones place.
Counting Forward and Backward
- Counting forward by tens adds 10 each time.
- Counting backward by tens subtracts 10 each time.
- The ones digit stays the same when exactly 10 is added or subtracted.
