I'm trying to understand why the 10 is in the ONES column on page 88. I would have thought the 1 would go in the TENS column and the 0 in the ONES. It has been 30+ years since I've done elementary math so I am more than a little rusty.  Any help would be appreciated.

I don't have this book but I think what they are doing is telling a story and it will build on that. The 10 is in the ones place to show the children the 1 in 10 means 1 group of 10. Seeing it as a group of 10 before moving the 1 over may help teach the place value better.
