Teaching Notes
Emphasize the pattern of the tens digit changing while the ones digit remains zero. Use a hundreds chart or base-ten blocks to visualize groups of ten. Connect to real-world applications like counting dimes or groups of objects.
Vocabulary
Skip counting: Counting numbers by skipping others.
Tens: Groups of ten.
Common Mistakes
- Skipping numbers (e.g., 10, 30, 40)
- Confusing with counting by 1s (e.g., 10, 11, 12)
- Losing track when counting beyond 100
- Not recognizing the '0' in the ones place as a pattern
Differentiation
SupportProvide a partially filled hundreds chart. Use physical manipulatives like bundles of ten craft sticks. Count aloud in a call-and-response format.
ChallengeStart counting by 10s from a number other than 0 or 10 (e.g., 3, 13, 23...). Count backwards by 10s. Connect to multiplication concepts (e.g., 4 groups of 10 is 40).
Discussion Questions
- What pattern do you notice when you count by 10s?
- How is counting by 10s different from counting by 1s?
- When might you use skip counting by 10s in your everyday life?
- If you have 7 groups of 10, how many do you have in total?
Extension Activities
- Count by 10s to 100.
- Use base-ten blocks.
- Count aloud by 10s.
Parent Tip
Count coins in groups of 10.
