Counting Objects to 100 by Grouping Tens and Ones

MatholiaChannel

This educational video provides a clear, step-by-step demonstration of how to count larger quantities of objects by grouping them into tens and ones. Using a repetitive and predictable structure, the video guides viewers through counting various items—such as eggs, cubes, pencils, and flowers—up to 100. For each example, the narrator counts groups of ten first (skip-counting), adds the remaining individual units, and then presents the final total in both numeral and written word forms. The content focuses on key early mathematics concepts including place value, skip-counting by tens, and the relationship between spoken numbers, numerals, and their written forms. It visually reinforces the base-ten number system by physically arranging objects into clear groups of ten, making abstract numerical concepts concrete for young learners. The video systematically increases the difficulty, moving from the 50s up to 100. For educators, this resource serves as an excellent tool for introducing or reinforcing place value and counting strategies in early elementary classrooms. It helps students transition from counting by ones (which is inefficient for large numbers) to the more efficient strategy of counting groups. The visual clarity makes it particularly useful for visual learners and can be easily replicated with physical manipulatives in the classroom for hands-on practice.
