Key Concepts

  • Counting by Tens
  • Place Value (Tens and Hundreds)
  • Extending Number Patterns

Learning Objectives

  • Students will be able to count to 100 by tens.
  • Students will be able to represent numbers using base ten blocks (tens and hundreds).
  • Students will be able to extend number patterns beyond 100.
  • Students will be able to relate the number of 'tens' to the number in the hundreds place.

Educator Instructions

  • Introduction (5 mins)
    Begin by asking students what they already know about counting. Can they count to 10? 20? 100? Introduce the video and tell them they will be learning how to count to 100 and beyond!
  • Video Viewing (10 mins)
    Play the YouTube video: 'Learn How to Count Numbers 1 to 100 for Kids. Useful Video for Kids. Kids Academy'. Encourage students to follow along and count with the video.
  • Counting by Tens Activity (10 mins)
    Lead a class activity where students practice counting by tens. Use fingers as shown in the video (1 finger = 10). Have students take turns counting by tens. Ask questions like, 'If we have 5 fingers up, how much is that?'
  • Base Ten Blocks Exploration (15 mins)
    Provide students with base ten blocks (tens rods and hundreds flats). Ask them to build different numbers using the blocks (e.g., build 30, 100, 200, 340). Have them explain how many tens and hundreds they used. Relate this back to the video's explanation of trading 10 tens for 1 hundred.
  • Extending Patterns Discussion (10 mins)
    Discuss the concept of extending number patterns, as shown in the video segment about counting from 107 to 120. Write some sequences on the board (e.g., 101, 102, 103, __, __) and have students fill in the missing numbers.
  • Wrap Up (5 mins)
    Review the main concepts learned in the lesson. Ask students to share one thing they learned about counting to 100 and beyond. Preview upcoming lessons on larger numbers.

Interactive Exercises

  • Number Building Challenge
    Give each student a number (e.g., 60, 140, 230). Have them build the number using base ten blocks. Then, have them write the number and explain how many tens and hundreds are in it.
  • Counting Game
    Play a counting game where students take turns counting, either by ones or by tens. For example, the first student says '10', the second says '20', the third says '30', and so on.

Discussion Questions

  • How many tens are in 100?
  • What is easier, counting 30 'ten' blocks, or counting 3 'hundred' blocks?
  • Can you think of times in your life when you might need to count to 100 or higher?
