10 · A ten rod holds 10 single cubes bundled together.
10 · Ten ones bundle into exactly 1 ten, since a ten is ten ones.
10 · You need exactly ten ones to bundle into one ten. That is where the ten gets its name.
True · That is exactly right. Ten ones become one ten.
1 · Ten cubes buy exactly one ten rod.
0 · All ten ones get bundled into the tens block, so none are left loose.
10 ones · One ten holds exactly 10 ones.
False · Zoe is wrong. The rod and the 10 cubes hold exactly the same amount.
No, a ten is much more than one · A ten is a bundle of ten ones, so it holds far more than just one single cube.
14 · One ten hides 10 ones, plus 4 loose ones, giving 14 ones.
