The number of ways to choose the first student is 10, as any of the 10 students could be selected first.
Once the first student is chosen, there are 9 remaining students who could be chosen as the second student.
Therefore, the total number of ways to choose the students who go first and second in the bee is 10 * 9 = 90 ways.
