One day Zoe looked all around, all around her nice little town. "This is 

such a perfect place to live! We have houses and stores and a library, too, 

but there's one thing we don't have--we don't have a zoo!"

So Zoe thought and thought about what she could do. 

"Eureka!" she shouted, "I'll build a zoo! I'll need lots of 

animals--not just a few--if I am to start my very own 

zoo."

So she got on the phone and called everyone she knew, 

looking for animals to put in her zoo. "If you have some 

animals, in groups or alone, just let me know if they 

need a home!"

Here's one hippo! A hippo named Joe.

1 hippo

Here come the elephants! Look, there's two! One's named Eddie and the 

other is Ellie Lou!

2 elephants

Oh, wow! Zoe's zoo has animals now!

Look and see!

1      +      2      =     3

Next came some kangaroos--one, two, and three!

Karl and Kimmy and little Kylie.

3 kangaroos

Now here's a big tree 

swinging with four crazy 

monkeys!

Maxwell, Maude, Milton 

and Millie just can't help 

themselves--they're so 

silly!

4 monkeys

3   +    3     +   4   =   10

Wow! Can you believe your eyes? Zoe's zoo has really grown in 

size! Now Zoe has even won a prize!

Hey, Zoe! Your zoo has ten animals now! Can you help us think of 

some different ways to show the number 10?

We can write it as a word 

like this:  ten.

We can write it with numerals like this:   10. 

We can also write ten with tally marks! 

All we need to do is it draw one mark for 

every animal we see. This is what ten looks 

like in tally marks: 

We can also show ten on a tens frame. Each 

dot represents one animal, so we have ten dots 

that completely fill up our tens frame like this:

Next, Zoe welcomes a family of five. They're giraffes who hold their heads up 

high. There's Danny and Donny and Dahlia and Danielle. 

5 giraffes

Oh, wait! We almost forgot about shy little Dell!
