Probing questions
If you count in tens from 42, which digit changes? Why doesn't the ones digit change?
If you were to start with 93 and count back in tens, what would be the smallest number you would reach on a 1–100 grid? Would 14 be one of the numbers you would say? Why not?
What do you notice when I subtract 10 from a number? Can you explain?
