Read it: Count on from any number

Start at 37 and count by ones: 38 is 1 tick on. From 59, the next is 60: a new ten starts.

  1. Find the number you start at: 37.
  2. Move 1 tick on for each number you count.
  3. Say where you land: 38.

You can start counting at any number, not only at 1.

Each tick on is 1 more.

After a number that ends in 9, the tens go up: 59, then 60.

Start where you are. Count on by ones. After a 9, a new ten starts.

Going back to 1 to count up to 38.

Start at 37 and count on: 38.

After 49 comes ___? — 50. 49 ends in 9, so a new ten starts: 50.

Count from 27 to 32

Let's count forward! We don't always start at one. Today we'll start at twenty-seven and count up.

Here's a number line from twenty-five to thirty-five. Each tick is one number.

We start right here, at twenty-seven.

One hop forward — twenty-eight.

Hop again — twenty-nine.

What comes after twenty-nine? This is the tricky part!

Thirty! When we hit a nine, the next number starts a brand new ten.

Keep going — thirty-one.

And thirty-two. We made it!

Counting from twenty-seven: twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two. Great counting!
