How can I find the last 10 modified files

I'm in the root folder and need to find the last 10 modified files of just this folder. Every time I put -mtime like my lecturer said I get 10 days. I need the last 10 modified files, not the last 10 days worth. I have tried find -my time, my time piped with tail. I get a long list of every modified file of the last 10 days. I need just the last 10 modified files of the root directory.
