Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have some fun with numbers. Are you ready to count with me? Let’s go!
Did you know you can count by tens using your fingers? Let’s try it together: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100. Wow, we used all our fingers, and it took 10 times! That means there are 10 tens in 100.
Let’s use some blocks to see if this is true. Imagine each long block has 10 cubes. If we have two long blocks, that’s 20 cubes. What if we had 10 long blocks? That would be 100 cubes, just like we counted!
Now, let’s think about 20 long blocks. How much is that? If each long is worth 10, we can trade 10 longs for 100. So, 20 longs can be traded for two hundreds: 100, 200. Easy, right?
What about 30 long blocks? Let’s see. We can trade 10 longs for 100, another 10 longs for another 100, and the last 10 longs for one more 100. So, 30 longs is the same as 300: 100, 200, 300. That was simple!
Can you figure out the value of 40 long blocks? I’ll give you a moment to think. Ready for the answer? Each long is worth 10, so 40 longs can be traded for four hundreds: 100, 200, 300, 400. Great job!
Hi there, it’s me, Toby! I can’t sleep, so let’s count sheep together. The sheep are in groups of ten. Let’s count by tens: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100. Thanks for helping me count. Good night!
When we count past 100, we can use the same pattern as counting from 0 to 20. Let’s try counting from 7 to 27: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
Now, let’s count from 107 to 120: 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120. See how the pattern is the same?
Let’s try counting from 109 to 120. First, let’s count from 9 to 20 to see the pattern: 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
Now, let’s count from 109: 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120. Great work!
Can you count from 104 to 120? Use the pattern from 4 to 20. Let’s count from 4 to 20 first: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
Now, let’s count from 104: 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120. Well done!
Remember, you can use patterns to help you count from any number. Thanks for counting with me today. See you next time!
Build Your Own Base 10 Blocks: Gather some small objects like Lego pieces, beads, or buttons. Try to create your own set of base 10 blocks. For example, group 10 pieces together to make a “long block.” How many “long blocks” can you make with 50 pieces? Can you trade them for hundreds? This will help you understand how numbers are grouped in tens and hundreds.
Counting Walk: Go on a walk with a family member or friend. As you walk, count by tens. For example, count the number of steps you take: 10, 20, 30, and so on. How far can you count? Try to notice patterns in your counting. Do you see any numbers that repeat? This activity will help you see how counting by tens can be applied in real life.
Number Patterns with Art: Draw a picture using groups of ten. For example, draw 10 stars, 20 circles, and 30 squares. Count them by tens and write the total number next to each group. Can you create a pattern with your drawings? This will help you visualize counting by tens and recognize patterns in numbers.

Welcome to Kids Academy! [Music]
You can count by tens up to 100 using your fingers: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100. You’ll see we used all our fingers; it took 10 times. There are 10 tens inside 100.
Let’s check out the base 10 blocks to make sure it’s true. We can see that one long has 10 cubes in it, so if we have two longs, that’s 20 cubes.
What if we had 10 longs? That would give us 100, just like we counted. But what if we had 20 longs? How much is that worth? Is there an easier way to save 20 longs?
If each long is worth 10, we can count each long as 10. If we put 10 of the longs together, we can trade it for 100. If we take the other 10 longs, we can trade it for another 100.
Now instead of counting the 20 longs, we can just count the two hundreds: one hundred, two hundred. That was a lot easier!
What about 30 longs? How much is that worth? Is there an easier way to save 30 longs?
If we put 10 of the longs together, we can trade it for 100. If we take another 10 longs, we can trade it for another hundred. We can take the last 10 longs and trade it for another hundred too.
Now instead of counting the 30 longs, we can just count the three hundreds: one hundred, two hundred, three hundred. Thirty longs is the same as 300. That was a lot easier!
I’ll leave you with a challenge: can you tell the value of 40 longs? Is there a trade you can make to say this in an easier way? I’ll give you some time to think, but if you need more time, you can pause the video and answer when you’re ready. [Music]
Okay, here’s the answer: each long is worth 10. We can count each long as 10. If we put 10 of the longs together, we can trade it for 100. We can take the other 10 longs and trade it for another hundred. We can take another 10 longs and trade it for another hundred. We can take the last 10 longs and trade them for another hundred.
Now instead of counting the 40 longs, we can just count the four hundreds: 100, 200, 300, 400. That was a lot easier! Remember, ten tens is worth one hundred.
Thanks for watching, boys and girls! See you next time! [Music]

Hi there, it’s me, Toby! I can’t fall asleep. I’ve heard that counting sheep can help. Will you count sheep with me? Great, I was hoping you would!
The sheep are in groups of ten, so let’s count them by tens. When we count by tens, we always start with the number 10. Come on, everybody, count with me: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100.
I’m almost sleeping now! Thanks for helping me count these sheep. Good night, everybody! [Music]
When we count past 100 to 120, we can follow the same pattern that we used when counting from 0 to 20. You can even start counting at any number as long as you remember the pattern from 0 to 20.
Let’s count from 7 to 27: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20.
Now let’s try counting from 107 to 120. We can use the same pattern we just used to count from 7 to 20: 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, and 120.
Can you see the relationship between counting from 0 to 20 and counting from 100 to 120? It’s quite similar; they follow the same exact pattern. This can help us count up starting at any number.
Let’s try it again! Let’s count from 109 to 120. We can follow the same pattern from when we count from 9 to 20. First, let’s count from 9 to 20 to figure out the pattern, then we’ll use that pattern to count from 109 to 120.
Let’s get started: 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20.
Now let’s try 109 to 120: 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, and 120. Great work! Now it’s your turn!
I’ll leave you with a challenge: I want you to count from 104 to 120. You can use the pattern of counting from 4 to 20 to help. I’ll give you some time to think, but if you need more time, you can pause the video and answer when you are ready. [Music]
Okay, here’s the answer! Let’s count from 104 to 120. We can follow the same pattern from when we count from 4 to 20.
First, let’s count from 4 to 20 to find out the pattern, then we’ll use that pattern to count from 104 to 120. Let’s get started: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20.
Now let’s count from 104: 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, and 120.
Remember, you can use patterns to help you count starting at any number. Thanks for watching, boys and girls! We’ll see you next time! [Music]
Thank you!
