Count to 100 by tens

Students will practice counting by tens from 10 to 100, saying 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100. This introduces skip counting and the structure of the base-ten system.

Counting by tens jumps ten each time.

The tens words go in order.

Read it: Jump 10 at a time

You stand at 40. Tiny hops to 70 take forever. 3 big jumps of 10 land you at 70.

  1. Start at 40 on the path.
  2. Jump 10: 50, then 60, then 70.
  3. You made 3 jumps of 10. 40 + 30 = 70.

Counting 41, 42, 43 all the way works, but it is slow, and you lose the count.

Each jump of 10 lands on the next ten, so you skip the little numbers.

3 jumps of 10 add 30, which is how you get from 40 to 70.

Jump 10 at a time instead of counting every number.

Counting 41, 42, 43 and stopping at 50 instead of 70.

Jump 10, 3 times: 50, 60, 70.

3 + 10 = ___ — 13. 1 jump of 10 from 3 lands on 13 — 1 mark along, not 10 little steps.

10, 20, 30 … 100

Today we're going to count all the way to one hundred — but in a super-fast way. We'll count by tens!

Here's our number line. It starts at zero and ends at one hundred. Every jump is ten.

Our first jump lands on ten.

Add ten more — twenty!

Ten more — thirty.

Keep going — forty.

Halfway there — fifty!

Sixty.

Seventy.

Eighty.

Almost there — ninety.

And one hundred! We made it!

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, one hundred. That's counting by tens!
