Counting with Blocks
Blocks are wonderful tools for learning numbers!
When we count blocks, we can see how numbers grow bigger. Each block stands for "1", and when we put 10 blocks together in a line, we make a "ten". Counting to 100 is exciting when we use blocks to help us!
How to Count Blocks
1️⃣ Count by ones - Point to each block and say the number
2️⃣ Look for groups of ten - Count how many complete lines of 10 blocks you have
3️⃣ Add the extras - Count any extra blocks that don't make a full ten
Let's Practice Together!
Example 1: Count the Blocks
How many blocks are there? Click on each block to count them!
You've counted: 0 blocks
Example 2: How Many Blocks?
Look at this group of blocks. There are 6 tens and 4 ones. How many blocks is that?
Parent Tips 🌟
- Make it physical: Use real blocks or small toys to practice counting. Kids learn best when they can touch and move objects.
- Count by tens: Help your child recognize groups of ten by organizing blocks into lines or stacks of ten before counting.
- Celebrate milestones: When your child counts to 50 or 100 for the first time, celebrate this big achievement!
