Key Concepts

  • Skip counting
  • Counting by tens
  • Number patterns

Learning Objectives

  • Students will be able to skip count by 10s up to 100.
  • Students will be able to identify the pattern in counting by 10s.
  • Students will be able to apply skip counting by 10s to real-world scenarios.

Educator Instructions

  • Introduction (5 mins)
    Begin by asking students what they already know about counting. Introduce the concept of skip counting as a faster way to count. Explain that today they'll be learning to skip count by 10s.
  • Video Time! (5 mins)
    Watch the NUMBEROCK 'Skip Counting by 10' video. Encourage students to sing along and pay attention to the numbers.
  • Discussion (5 mins)
    After the video, ask students what they noticed about counting by 10s. What comes after 10? What comes after 20?
  • Activity: Counting with Objects (10 mins)
    Provide students with manipulatives like blocks or counters. Have them group the objects into sets of 10. Then, have them skip count the sets of 10 to find the total number of objects.
  • Activity: Number Line Skip (10 mins)
    Give each student a number line from 0 to 100. Have them start at 0 and jump by 10s, marking each number they land on. This visual representation reinforces the pattern.
  • Wrap-up (5 mins)
    Review what they learned about skip counting by 10s. Ask them to give examples of where they might use skip counting in real life (e.g., counting dimes).

Interactive Exercises

  • Counting Jar
    Place a jar of objects (e.g., buttons, beads) on a table. Have students estimate how many objects are in the jar. Then, have them work in small groups to count the objects by skip counting by 10s.
  • Act it Out
    Ask students to stand up and act as if they are walking a path. Each step is a count of 10. Have them continue until they reach 100.
