(upbeat music) - Joel.

- Yes?

- Did you make all these cookies?

I, I have to be honest.

I didn't make them.

- Oh.

- I, I may have bought them.

- Well, that's okay.

I bet they're delicious.

- Okay, I bet so too.

- Are they for a party or something?

- All right.

It is for a party.

It's Rise and Shine's second birthday.

- (gasps) What?

- Yes!

- Happy birthday, Rise and Shine.

- That's right.

And you know what?

- What?

- It kind of reminds me, you want to play a little game?

- Oh I love party games.

- Yeah.

Okay, let's do.. - Pin the tail on the donkey.

- Oh, that's a good one.

How about Would You Rather?

- Hopscotch.

- Would you rather?

- Would I rather pin the tail on the donkey or play hopscotch?

- Yeah, actually, let's do that one.

- Oh, okay.

Hmm.

Pin the tail on the donkey.

- Okay.

I like that one, too.

That's good.

Okay.

What about this one?

Would you rather be able to fly or have super strength?

- Hmm.

That's a tough one.

Well, I think super strength.

Oh, I think I'm going to go with fly.

- Oh.

- I would go with fly.

Yeah, that's a good one.

Right.

Okay.

Actually, those would you rather questions jump right into our math lesson.

Oh, yeah.

Okay, great.

Okay, so here's here's the question of the day.

Okay.

Would you rather have 23 plus 71 cookies.

Cookie.

Or 35 plus 58 cookies?

Well, that's a tough one, Joel.

I don't know.

I want whatever has more cookie.

More cookie?

So you know what we need to do?

- (gasps) Can I help you?

- Yeah.

- Call the Magic Chalkboard.

- Okay.

- Can we do that in funny voices this time Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Pick a funny voice.

All right, I'm ready.

Okay.

(both) Chalkboard!

(Joel claps) There we go.

- Ooh.

- Now we got it.

- I'm going to get some milk to go with these cookies.

- Okay, you do that.

All right, so let's, let's work out this problem.

So we know that Blueberry wants the most cookies, right?

But how do we know which one is more?

The question was, would you rather have 23 plus 71 cookies or 35 plus 58?

So we're going to have to add these together before we can decide which one we actually want.

So let's start working on that.

Let's start with the 23 plus 71.

So these are larger numbers, but remember that we can break numbers apart and kind of decompose those numbers.

So 23, I know is made up of two groups of ten, which is the 20 and then three ones.

So if I just write that out a little bit differently and say, hey, 20 and three and then I know my 71 is seven groups of ten and one one.

So I can even write that.

And now as I go to count this up and add these together, I know that I have two groups of ten and seven groups of ten.

Well, it's easier to add that together because I can just eight, nine.

I have nine groups of ten, so that'd be 90.

And now I can add in my three and my one of the ones and that's going to be four.

So all together on this side is 94 cookies.

94 cookies.

I'll take that.

Yeah, that'd be a great one.

Right.

Hopefully we have a lot of friends coming to help us with our cookies.

- I always like to share with my friends.

- That's good.

That's good.

So now let's look at this other side.

- Okay.

- We have 35 plus 58.

Now, on that side, we can do the same thing.

Again, we have larger numbers.

So we can break this apart.

And I know that 35 is really three groups of ten.

- Three groups of ten.

- You're right.

And how many ones would that be?

- Five.

- It'd be five.

- Five ones.

- Okay, so I know that there's three groups of ten and five ones and I can do the same with 58.

So that'd be five groups of ten.

- Five groups of ten and eight ones.

- And eight ones.

You've got it, Blueberry.

Okay.

Now, if we go to add these up, I know my groups of ten, I have three and five.

So all together that would make.. - Um.

- That's quite a few.

It's up to eight.

- 8.

- 80.

That's right.

So we have 80 from our groups of ten.

Now on the one side, notice what happens here.

We have five and then eight ones.

So if we were to add that together, I started eight.

Add on from there.

That's nine, ten, 11, 12, 13.

Well 13 ones is really another group of ten and three ones.

So I'm up to nine groups of ten and three ones, which is 93.

Okay.

So now let's figure out which one is more.

Well, I know, Blueberry, what do you think, 94 or 93?

- Oh, I want 94 cookies.

- 94 cookies.

So one, one way we can show this is by using these symbols greater than, less than, or equal to.

And so we have these three symbols, and I know that 94 is greater than 93, so I'm going to use that greater than sign right there.

So, Blueberry, are you going with more cookies?

- Oh, always more cookies.

That way there's some to share with our friends.

- That's right.

Okay.

So we're choosing the 23 plus 71 side.

That's some good work today.

- Oh, well, you made it easy, Joel.

- Thank you, Blueberry.

Thanks for joining me.

You know what time I think it is?

- Oh, it's cookie time.

- It's cookie time!
