Teacher Resources
Teaching Notes

Introduce skip counting by 10s using a 100 chart, base ten blocks, or bundles of ten sticks. Emphasize that only the tens digit changes as you count.

Vocabulary
Skip counting: Counting by a given number.
Tens: Groups of ten.
Sequence: Numbers in a specific order.
Common Mistakes
  • Forgetting to count in groups of ten instead of ones.
  • Confusing counting by 10s with counting by 1s or 5s.
  • Errors when transitioning to a new decade (e.g., 90 to 100).
Differentiation
SupportProvide a 100 chart to visually track counting by 10s. Use manipulatives like linking cubes or bundles of ten sticks.
ChallengeChallenge students to count by 10s starting from a number other than a multiple of 10 (e.g., 3, 13, 23...). Extend counting by 10s beyond 100.
Discussion Questions
  • What pattern do you notice in the numbers when you count by 10s?
  • How does knowing how to count by 10s help you count faster or understand larger numbers?
  • Can you think of a real-life situation where counting by 10s would be useful?
Extension Activities
  • Count by 10s on a number line.
  • Use base-ten blocks.
  • Skip count forwards and backwards.
Parent Tip

Count groups of 10 items, like fingers and toes.
