What is Counting by Tens?
Counting by tens is like taking big, happy jumps through numbers!
When we count by tens, we start at 10 and keep adding 10 each time: 10, 20, 30, and so on up to 100. It's a super fast way to count and helps us understand bigger numbers.
How to Count by Tens
1️⃣ Start at 10 - that's our first special number
2️⃣ Add 10 more to get to 20 - that's two groups of ten!
3️⃣ Keep adding 10 until you reach 100 - that's ten groups of ten!

Parent Tips 🌟
- Use real objects: Count groups of 10 items (like 10 crayons, 10 blocks) to make the concept concrete.
- Sing a counting song: Make up a simple tune for counting by tens or find one online - music helps memory!
- Play "Ten More": Give your child a number and ask what's ten more (start with numbers ending in 0).
