Two farmers came with 
Copper coins in hand.
King Plus counted the coppers
From one all the way to ten.
The ten copper coins
To the count he gave,
And the count gave to him
A shiny silver one.
The silvers he put
With the coppers,
And all of these he saved.

Students explore regrouping to solve addition problems involving carrying.
They learn to subtract from the top ones or the coppers that the farmers bring and add these to the bottom ones to make ten.
The ten are then exchanged for a silver and added to the silvers King Plus had already.
