Look at the balls and answer the
questions. How many 10s are there? How many ones are left? How many balls are there in
total?
We’re shown an amount of tennis
balls. The balls have been grouped
together into 10s, and there are some ones left over. The first part of the question asks
us how many 10s there are. Let’s count the number of groups of
10. One, two, three, four, five. The second part of the question
asks us how many ones there are left over. One, two, three, four. And the final part of the question
asks us how many balls there are in total. We know that there are four ones
left over and five 10s. How much is five 10s worth? We could count in 10s. 10, 20, 30, 40, 50. Five 10s are 50. 50 and four gives us a total of
54. There are five 10s; there are four
ones and 54 balls in total.
