Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn how to count by tens all the way up to 100. It’s super fun and easy! You can even use your fingers to help you count: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100. Wow, we used all our fingers, and it took ten times. Did you know there are ten tens inside one hundred?
Let’s use some cool base ten blocks to see if this is true. Each long block has 10 little cubes in it. So, if we have two long blocks, that’s 20 cubes. What if we had 10 long blocks? That would make 100 cubes, just like when we counted with our fingers!
Now, let’s think about having 20 long blocks. How much is that worth? Is there an easier way to say 20 longs? Yes, there is! If each long is worth ten, we can count each long as ten. We can put ten of the longs together and trade them for one hundred. Then, we take the other ten longs and trade them for another hundred. So, instead of counting 20 longs, we can just count two hundreds: 100, 200. Isn’t that much easier?
What about 30 long blocks? How much is that worth? Let’s find out! If each long is worth 10, we can count each long as 10, just like before. We can put 10 of the longs together and trade them for 100. Then, we take another 10 longs and trade them for another 100. Finally, we take the last 10 longs and trade them for another hundred. Now, instead of counting 30 longs, we can just count three hundreds: 100, 200, 300. Thirty longs is the same as three hundred. That was a lot easier!
Here’s a fun challenge for you: Can you figure out the value of 40 long blocks? Is there a trade you can make to say this in an easier way? Take a moment to think about it. If you need more time, you can pause and think.
Okay, here’s the answer: If each long is worth ten, we can count each long as ten. We can put ten of the longs together and trade them for one hundred. Then, we take another ten longs and trade them for another hundred. We can take another 10 longs and trade them for another 100. Finally, we take the last 10 longs and trade them for another 100. Now, instead of counting 40 longs, we can just count four hundreds: 100, 200, 300, 400. That was a lot easier!
Remember, ten tens is worth one hundred. Isn’t that cool? Thanks for learning with us today! See you next time for more fun and exciting lessons. Don’t forget to subscribe to our channel to stay updated on new videos. You can find links to our apps in the comments below. Happy counting!
Build Your Own Base Ten Blocks: Gather some small objects like buttons, coins, or LEGO pieces. Try to create your own base ten blocks by grouping them into sets of ten. How many sets of ten can you make? Can you make 100 using these groups? This activity helps you see how numbers are built using tens.
Counting by Tens Nature Walk: Go on a nature walk with a family member or friend. Collect small items like leaves, pebbles, or sticks. Try to collect them in groups of ten. Count by tens as you collect: 10, 20, 30, and so on. How many groups of ten can you find? This will help you practice counting by tens in a fun, outdoor setting.
Draw and Trade: Draw pictures of long blocks on a piece of paper. Each long block should represent ten. Draw 10, 20, 30, or even 40 long blocks. Now, trade every ten long blocks for a big square that represents 100. How many big squares do you have? This drawing activity helps you visualize trading tens for hundreds.

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 ten times. There are ten tens inside one hundred.
Let’s check out the base ten 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. [Music]
What if we had 10 tens or 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 say 20 longs? Is there a trade we can make?
If each long is worth ten, we can count each long as ten. If we put ten of the longs together, we can trade it for a hundred. If we take the other ten longs, we can trade it for another hundred. Now instead of counting the 20 longs, we can just count the two hundreds: 100, 200. That was a lot easier!
What about 30 longs? How much is that worth? Is there an easier way to say 30 longs? Is there a trade we can make? If each long is worth 10, we can count each long as 10, just like before.
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 100. We can take the last 10 longs and trade it for another hundred. Now instead of counting the thirty longs, we can just count the three hundreds: 100, 200, 300. Thirty longs is the same as three hundred. 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: If each long is worth ten, we can count each long as ten. If we put ten of the longs together, we can trade it for one hundred. We can take the other ten longs and trade it for another hundred. We can take another 10 longs and trade it for another 100. We can take the last 10 longs and trade them for another 100.
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.
