Welcome to Counting by Tens! – Learn to count by tens – Count: 10, 20, 30, up to 100 – It’s like hopping on numbers – Imagine jumping from 10 to 20 to 30 on a number line – Skip-counting is super fast – Counting by tens is quicker than one by one – Practice makes perfect | This slide introduces kindergarteners to the concept of skip-counting by tens, which is a foundational skill in understanding place value and arithmetic. Start by explaining that counting by tens is a shortcut for counting individual numbers. Use visuals like a number line to illustrate the ‘hops’ from one ten to the next (10, 20, 30, and so on). Emphasize the pattern and rhythm in skip-counting by tens to make it engaging and memorable. Incorporate physical movement, like actual hopping, to reinforce the concept. Practice with the class by counting together and encourage them to practice at home to become confident in skip-counting by tens.

Hop, Skip, and Jump by Tens! – What is skip-counting? – Skipping over numbers in a sequence – Skip-counting by tens – Instead of 1, 2, 3, we count 10, 20, 30… – It’s like number leaps! – Imagine leaping over numbers to land on every tenth one – Practice with examples – Let’s count: 10, 20, 30, up to 100 together! | This slide introduces the concept of skip-counting by tens, which is a foundational skill in understanding number patterns and place value. Explain that skip-counting is like hopping over certain numbers and only counting specific ones, in this case, every tenth number. Use visuals or physical movements to demonstrate the concept, like jumping on a number line. Encourage the children to practice by counting aloud together and using their fingers to represent each jump from one ten to the next. This activity prepares them for more advanced math concepts and helps with quick mental calculations.

Let’s Try Together: Counting by Tens! – Count objects in groups of ten – Start at 10, add ten each time – Sequence: 10, 20, 30… – Practice the sequence together – Can you continue the count? – Encourage participation | This slide is an interactive activity designed to help Kindergarten students understand the concept of skip-counting by tens. Begin by explaining that counting by tens is like taking big jumps on a number line. Show them objects grouped in tens to visualize the concept. Start the sequence by counting aloud, ’10, 20, 30…’ and then pause to ask the students to continue. Encourage them to join in and count with you. This activity helps students recognize patterns in numbers and lays the foundation for future math skills like addition and multiplication. Make sure to praise their efforts and correct gently if they make mistakes. The goal is to make them comfortable with the concept of skip-counting by tens.

Counting by Tens with Our Fingers – We all have ten fingers – Count by tens using fingers – Start with closed fists, open a finger for each ten: 10, 20, 30… – Each finger for ten counts – One finger represents ten, so five fingers means fifty! – Practice opening one finger at a time – Let’s open our fingers one by one as we count: 10, 20, 30… up to 100 | This slide is designed to teach Kindergarten students the concept of skip-counting by tens in a fun and interactive way using their fingers. Start by showing your hands with closed fists. As you count each set of ten, open one finger. This visual and physical representation helps children understand the concept of counting by tens and reinforces their counting skills. Encourage the students to follow along with their own hands. After the activity, ask them to practice on their own and even come up with creative ways to count by tens using other objects or drawings.

Counting by Tens with Visuals – Visual aids show groups of ten – Chart examples: stars, apples, balls – See 10 stars, 10 apples, 10 balls lined up – Counting by tens reveals patterns – Notice how numbers end in 0: 10, 20, 30… – Practice with different items – Try counting toys or crayons by tens | This slide introduces the concept of skip-counting by tens using visual aids, which are crucial for Kindergarten students as they learn best through seeing and doing. Display a chart with groups of ten common items, such as stars, apples, and balls, to make the concept relatable. Emphasize the pattern that emerges when we count by tens, particularly how each number ends in zero. Encourage students to practice by grouping different items they are familiar with, such as toys or crayons, into sets of ten and counting them by tens. This will help solidify their understanding of the concept and its application to everyday objects.

Practice Time: Counting by Tens! – Let’s practice skip-counting – Use the worksheet to fill in numbers – Find the blank spots and think: What number is 10 more? – Count by tens to find missing numbers – If we have 10, 20, __, what comes next? Yes, 30! – Remember, it’s like hopping! – Imagine hopping from one number to the next, each hop adds 10 | This slide is for a hands-on activity where students will use a worksheet to practice skip-counting by tens. The worksheet will have sequences of numbers with blanks that students need to fill in. Remind them that when we skip-count by tens, we’re adding ten to the previous number. It’s like hopping on a number line where each hop lands on the next number that is ten more than the last. Encourage students to say the numbers out loud as they write them down to reinforce the pattern. Provide guidance as needed and praise their efforts to build confidence. Possible activities could include counting objects grouped by tens, using a number line, or singing a counting song.

Counting by Tens with a Song! – Songs make counting fun – Learn to count by tens – Counting in groups of ten like 10, 20, 30… – Sing along: ‘Ten, twenty…’ – We’ll sing together: ‘Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty…’ – Practice makes perfect – Keep singing to get better at counting! | This slide introduces a musical activity to help Kindergarten students learn to count by tens. Emphasize the joy and ease of learning through song. The song should have a simple, catchy tune that the children can easily follow and memorize. Encourage them to sing along with the sequence of tens up to at least one hundred. Repetition through song will help solidify their understanding of skip counting. During the activity, pause after each verse to allow the children to repeat the numbers, reinforcing their learning. Consider using hand movements or clapping to engage them further and make the activity more interactive.

Ten Steps Game: Counting by Tens – Let’s play a game to learn counting by tens – We’ll take steps and count each one by tens – Who will reach the finish line first? – Remember to count: 10, 20, 30, and so on! – Example: 1 step, say ’10’; 2 steps, say ’20’ | This interactive game is designed to help Kindergarten students understand the concept of skip-counting by tens in a physical and engaging way. Set up a start line and a finish line in the classroom. Have the students line up at the start line and take turns taking ‘big steps’. With each step, they should count aloud by tens. This activity not only reinforces their counting skills but also helps them with number sequence and physical coordination. Possible variations include counting by tens while clapping, jumping, or hopping to keep the activity diverse and engaging. Monitor the students to ensure they are counting correctly and provide guidance as needed. Celebrate each student’s effort to reach the finish line.

Fantastic Skip-Counting by Tens! – Celebrate your skip-counting success – Skip-counting helps count faster – Try skip-counting with toys – Count your toys in groups of ten – Practice makes perfect with snacks – How many tens of cookies do you have? | This slide is a conclusion to reinforce the skill of skip-counting by tens. Congratulate the students on learning this efficient counting method. Emphasize that skip-counting can help them count large numbers of items quickly. Encourage them to practice at home using familiar items like toys and snacks, which will help them relate to the concept in a fun and practical way. Remind them that practice is key to becoming comfortable with skip-counting. During the next class, ask some students to share how they practiced at home to create a collaborative learning environment.
