Are there 11 pieces of candy in the
bag?
In the picture, we can see a bag
that contains a number of pieces of candy. But how many are there? We’re asked whether the bag
contains this number of pieces. Do you know how to read this
number? When we see a two-digit number like
this, there’s a one next door to another one, we know it’s the number 11. It’s the number after 10, isn’t
it? It’s one more than 10. Let’s put one plastic counter under
this 10 frame for every piece of candy that we can count. One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, 10.
We can tell we’ve got 10 pieces of
candy because we’ve filled up our 10 frame. But we’ve still got one more piece
of candy to count. So we’re going to need to start a
new 10 frame. And as we’ve said already, the
number that comes after 10 is 11. One more than 10 is 11. And so when we’re asked, “Are there
11 pieces of candy in the bag?,” we need to say, “Yes, there are.” And we use 10 frames to show
it.
