What Are Groups of Ten?
Counting by tens makes math easier and faster!
When we count objects, we can group them in bundles of ten to make counting large numbers simpler. It's like having ten fingers on two hands - easy to remember and count with!
How to Count Groups of Ten
1️⃣ Look at all the objects you need to count
2️⃣ Group them into sets of ten
3️⃣ Count the groups: "Ten, twenty, thirty..."
Let's Practice Together!

Parent Tips 🌟
- Use everyday objects: Practice counting groups with toys, buttons, or snacks - anything your child can physically group together.
- Make it musical: Sing counting-by-ten songs together to reinforce the pattern (10, 20, 30...).
- Celebrate mistakes: If your child miscounts, say "Great try! Let's count together" rather than pointing out the error directly.
