Quickly get up the mountain and out of the hot lava’s way by counting by 10s all the way to 100. Explore counting by 10s using your body and playing games!
Zoom to 100!
Imagine you are in a race.
You could take 100 tiny steps to get to the finish line.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
That works, but it takes a while. Your shoes might start asking for a snack.
Now imagine you have super-jump shoes. Instead of counting every single step, you jump forward by 10 each time.
10, 20, 30, 40...
Whoa! You are getting to 100 much faster.
Try it now. Stand up if you can, or tap your knees if you are sitting.
Each time you say a number, jump, clap, or tap.
You just counted by 10s to 100.
Counting by 10s is a kind of skip counting. You skip over some numbers, but they are still there hiding between the tens. Sneaky little numbers.
Now, keep going to learn how counting by 10s can help you count faster!
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.
Print out the 1 - 100 Number Chart found under Downloadable Resources in the right-hand sidebar.
Then, follow these directions.
Yes, the 10. Color that space in.
Good! Now, color in that space.
Great, you have all 10s colored in (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100).
Great work!
