What the lesson says
Let's count the apples: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
There are 7 apples on the tray.
How many more apples make 10?
Add one apple at a time: 8, 9, 10.
10 apples! We can stop now.
How many did we add? 1, 2, 3. That is 3 more.
Let's check. Count them all: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
7 and 3 more makes 10.
Now take 3 away, one at a time: 9, 8, 7.
7 apples are left. 10 take away 3 is 7.
Add 3, and 7 becomes 10. Take 3 away, and 10 becomes 7.
