Nine starts to sneeze, then One is sneezed out back and forth, until Eight says “See how you like it!” as he tosses One onto Nine.
Chapter 10: The Space Race[]
Ten is a rocket, with ten Ones as the mission control. She starts the countdown, but fails to launch.

Learning Objective[]

Math Magic[]
- 6 + 1 = 7 (segment only)
- 7 + 1 = 8 (segment only)
- 8 + 1 = 9 (segment)
- 9 - 1 = 8 (segment)
- 9 + 1 = 10 (segment only)
- 10 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
- 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 10
