Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun with numbers? Let’s learn how to count by tens together. It’s super easy and exciting! We’ll use our hands, arms, and even our hips to make it more fun. Let’s get started!
First, let’s roll our hands forward and count by tens. Ready? Here we go:
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100!
Great job! Now, let’s roll our hands backward and count back:
100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10!
Awesome! You did it just like that!
Now, let’s make circles with our arms. First, circle them forward and count by tens:
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100!
Now, circle your arms backward and count back:
100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10!
Fantastic! You’re doing great!
Let’s pretend we’re climbing a mountain. As we climb, let’s count by tens:
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100!
Now, let’s stomp through the jungle on a treasure hunt and count backwards:
100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10!
Wow! You’re a counting superstar!
Let’s shake our hips forward and count by tens:
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100!
Now, shake your hips backward and count back:
100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10!
You’re amazing! You can do it just like that!
Counting forward and counting back is so much fun! You can do it just like that, anytime you want. Keep practicing and enjoy counting by tens!
Number Line Hopscotch: Create a hopscotch grid outside or on the floor using chalk or tape. Write numbers counting by tens in each square (10, 20, 30, etc.). Have the children hop from one square to the next, saying the number out loud as they land. Encourage them to go forward and then backward. This will help them visualize and physically engage with the concept of counting by tens.
Counting by Tens Treasure Hunt: Hide small objects or toys around the room or yard. Each hidden item should have a number attached, counting by tens (10, 20, 30, etc.). Give the children a list of the numbers they need to find. As they find each item, they should say the number out loud and place it in order. This activity combines counting with a fun treasure hunt, reinforcing the sequence of tens.
Everyday Counting Challenge: Ask the children to find things at home or in the classroom that they can count by tens. For example, they might count groups of ten crayons, blocks, or even steps. Encourage them to think about how counting by tens can make counting large numbers easier and faster. Discuss how they can use this skill in everyday situations, like counting money or items in a grocery store.
