So, by making jumps of and then on the number line, we conclude that the result of is .
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
If we have 67 blocks in total, how many blocks will remain if we remove 5 tens and 4 ones?
Breaking 16 into 10 + 6 makes the jumps easier to visualize! Jumping by 10s follows the decade pattern, then the remaining 6 gets us to the exact answer.

Yes, for subtraction! Always start at the minuend (first number) and jump left by the amount of the subtrahend (second number).
Count your total jumps! In this problem: . If your jumps don't add up to the subtrahend, you made an error.
