What is Skip-Counting by Tens?
Skip-counting by tens is like taking big jumps on the number line!
Instead of counting 1, 2, 3..., we count 10, 20, 30... It's faster and helps us understand bigger numbers.
How to Skip-Count by Tens
1️⃣ Start at 0 (or any number ending with 0)
2️⃣ Add 10 each time
3️⃣ Say the numbers out loud: "10, 20, 30, 40..."
Let's Practice Together!
