The North American Arithmetic: Part Second, Uniting Oral and Written Exercises, in Corresponding Chapters (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The North American Arithmetic: Part Second, Uniting Oral and Written Exercises, in Corresponding Chapters

When we have a large number of articles to count, such as quills, nuts, cents, &c., we may, if we please, count them by tens. Let us suppose we have a quantity of cents before us, and proceed to count them as follows.

We first count out ten cents, and lay them in a pile We then count out ten more, and lay them in another pile; then ten more for another pile; and thus we continue to count out ten at a time, until we have counted ten piles. We put these ten piles together, and they make a large pile containing One Hundred cents.
