Find out!

  • Can you count to 100?
  • Do you know a quicker way to count to 100?

You can skip some numbers that you know are there and count more quickly.

One of the quickest ways to skip count is counting by 10s.

  • Are you ready to try it?

Print out the 1 - 100 Number Chart found under Downloadable Resources in the right-hand sidebar.

Then, follow these directions.

  1. Start with the 1 and count 10 spaces.
  • What number did you land on?

Yes, the 10. Color that space in.

  1. Now count another 10 spaces from the number 10.
  • What number did you land on? 20?

Good! Now, color in that space.

  1. Again, count 10 spaces and color in that space.
  • Are you starting to see a pattern?
  • Which space do you think you will color in next?
  1. Count another 10 spaces and color in that space. Were you correct with your guess?
  1. Continue coloring in every 10 spaces until you get to 100.

Great, you have all 10s colored in (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100).

  1. Say each 10 aloud and count by 10s to 100. Excellent!

Great work!
