Slide 1 of 5
Concept Spotlight
Why count by 10s?
One Ten-Rod = 10 Ones
🧱
Group It
Instead of counting 1, 2, 3... we bundle 10 items into one single group.
⚡
Speed It Up
Counting in bundles is ten times faster than counting one by one.
🎯
Add Ten
Every step adds exactly 10 more to our running total: +10.
10 ones = 1 ten Slide 2 of 5
