Understanding Tens and Ones
Imagine you have 12 yummy popsicles.
You want to share 8 popsicles with your friend. Here comes the magic!
Look at these blocks. They are just like the 12 popsicles you have.
Now wave your magical wand and say, "Abracadabra!" to make 8 blocks disappear.
Count the leftover blocks while you wave your magic wand!
Ta-da! You have 4 blocks left because you took away 8 blocks from 12.
That means you have 4 yummy popsicles to enjoy!
Using tens and ones helps you see groups of ten and the little ones left over. It shows the magic behind the numbers!

That was so much fun!
Of course, you did! You're a math whiz.
Learning to take away using tens and ones isn’t just fun. It is super helpful in things you do every day, like sharing popsicles, toys, or puzzle pieces with your friends.
It helps you see how many fun things you have left.
Look at the 18 blocks below. There is one ten base of blocks and 8 ones blocks.

Draw the 10rabbits. (If that’s tricky, you can draw circles or squares instead.)
Now, cross out 8 of the rabbits to show they have hopped away.
Count them while waving your magic wand!
Whoosh! Poof!
Woo-hoo! There are 2 rabbits left.
