Learning to Count by Tens to 100

MatholiaChannel

This educational video introduces early learners to the concept of skip counting by tens up to 100 using a relatable visual aid: boxes of crayons. The video systematically demonstrates how groups of ten accumulate to form larger numbers, starting from 50 and progressing sequentially to 100. Through clear narration and visual tracking, it reinforces the relationship between the number of "tens" (e.g., 6 tens) and the total quantity (e.g., 60). Key themes include skip counting, the base-ten number system, and the foundational concept of place value. The video explicitly connects verbal counting (10, 20, 30...) with written equations (e.g., "5 tens = 50"), bridging the gap between concrete objects and abstract mathematical notation. The repetitive structure is designed to build confidence and pattern recognition in young mathematicians. For educators, this video serves as an excellent visual model for introducing or reinforcing counting by tens. It can be used as a hook for math lessons on place value or as a guided practice tool where students chant along with the narrator. The clear visual representation of "groups of ten" provides a strong scaffolding for later concepts like multiplication and division, making it a versatile resource for Kindergarten and First Grade classrooms.
