Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun with numbers? Let’s learn how to count by tens with a super fun song! Counting by tens is like jumping from one number to the next, and it’s really easy once you get the hang of it. Let’s get started!
First, we start with the number 10. Imagine 10 fuzzy coconuts rolling around. Can you see them? Now, let’s jump to the next number!
10, 20. What’s next? 20 fuzzy coconuts!
Now, let’s keep going. Imagine 40 cows saying “moo” together. That’s a lot of moos!
30, 40. 40 cows and 40 moos!
Next, we have 60. Think about 60 things happening now and then. It’s like magic!
50, 60. 60 now and 60 then!
Let’s jump to 80. Imagine 80 people standing up and taking a bow. Wow, that’s a big show!
70, 80. 80 stand and take a bow!
Finally, we reach 100. Picture 100 colorful balloons floating up in the sky. Can you see them flying high?
90, 100. 100 balloons floating through the air!
Wasn’t that fun? You can practice counting by tens with your friends or family. Try to think of your own fun things to count, like 10 jumping frogs or 20 shiny stars. Keep counting and have a great time!
Remember, counting by tens is a great way to learn numbers and have fun at the same time. Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a counting superstar!
Number Line Hop: Create a number line on the floor using tape or chalk, marking the numbers 10, 20, 30, up to 100. Ask the children to hop from one number to the next, saying the numbers out loud as they go. Encourage them to imagine the objects from the song, like fuzzy coconuts or colorful balloons, as they hop. This will help them visualize and remember the sequence of numbers.
Counting by Tens Scavenger Hunt: Organize a scavenger hunt where children find groups of items that add up to ten. For example, they could find 10 leaves, 20 pebbles, or 30 sticks. Once they gather the items, have them count by tens to see how many groups they have. This activity encourages them to apply counting by tens in a real-world setting.
Creative Counting Art: Provide paper and crayons or markers, and ask the children to draw a scene with objects that can be counted by tens. For instance, they could draw 40 stars in the night sky or 60 fish swimming in the ocean. After drawing, have them count the objects by tens and share their artwork with the class. This activity combines creativity with math practice.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:
