He Whakawhitinga Kōrero:
- Titiro ki ngā rārangitanga o ngā tau, mai i te kore ki te tekau ki runga, mai i te tekau ki te kore ki raro. (Have a look at the lines of numbers from 0 te 10 on the top and from 10 to 0 on the bottom.)
- Māku e whakamau atu te kini pepa ki konei, ki te 4 i te rārangi tau o runga. He aha te tau e rite ana ki te rārangi o raro? (I’ll put the paper clip here on the 4 of the top line of numbers. What is the corresponding number on the bottom line?)
- He tauhono o te tekau tēnā takirua tau, te 4 me te 6. (That pair of numbers, 4 and 6, are numbers that add to make 10.)
- He aha te tāpiritanga o tēnā takirua tau? Me tuhi e tāua. (What is the addition of that pair of numbers? Let’s write it down.)
- E whā, tāpiria te ono, ka tekau. (4 plus 6 makes 10.)
