How it is taught

0:00 of 1:51

Start from any number and keep going.

After 69 comes 70.

Read it: Count by ones on the line

After 37 comes 38: 1 tick on. After 59 comes 60: the ones run out, and a new ten starts.

  1. Find the number you are on: 37.
  2. Move 1 tick on.
  3. Say the next number: 38.

Each tick on the line is 1 more.

After a number that ends in 9, the ones start again at 0 and the tens go up: 59, then 60.

The same rule works all the way to 100: after 99 comes 100.

Counting by ones is 1 tick on. After a 9, a new ten starts.

Saying 50 after 59, as if the tens went back.

The tens go up: 59, then 60.

After 79 comes ___? — 80. 79 ends in 9, so a new ten starts: 80.

Count forward from 28

Today we'll count forward — but we don't always have to start at one. Let's start at twenty-eight!

Here's our number line. Every step forward means one more.

We start right here, on twenty-eight.

Hop forward one. Twenty-nine.

After twenty-nine comes a brand-new ten.

Thirty! We just crossed into a new decade.

Keep going. Thirty-one.

Thirty-two.

Thirty-three.

Starting from twenty-eight, we counted forward all the way to thirty-three. Great counting!
