How to Skip Count by Tens to 100

MatholiaChannel

This animated math video introduces young learners to the concept of skip counting by tens through three distinct visual models: real-world grouping, a number line, and a hundred chart. The video begins by using cartons of eggs to demonstrate how grouping items into sets of ten allows for faster counting than counting by ones. It then transitions to abstract representations, showing how to jump by tens on a number line and identifying the vertical pattern created when counting by tens on a 1-100 number grid. Key themes include number sense, recognizing patterns in the base-ten number system, and efficient counting strategies. The video explicitly connects visual quantities (groups of eggs) to linear measurement (number line) and symbolic patterns (hundred chart), helping students bridge concrete and abstract mathematical understanding. For educators, this video serves as an excellent introduction or review of skip counting. The clear visuals support diverse learning styles, and the concluding question—asking students to predict the pattern if starting from the number 2—provides a natural springboard for critical thinking and extending the lesson into off-decade skip counting (e.g., 12, 22, 32).
