What this lesson teaches

We can count by ones (1, 2, 3) or count by tens (10, 20, 30) all the way to 100.

Worked examples

Example 1

Count by tens like a jump: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50. Each jump adds a whole group of ten.

Example 2

Counting by ones takes a long time to reach 100, but counting by tens gets there in only ten jumps: 10, 20, 30 ... 90, 100.

Example 3

Start at 60 and count on by tens: 70, 80, 90, 100. You do not have to start at 10 every time.

Practice questions

  1. Count out loud from 1 to 20 as fast as you can.
  2. Count by tens: 10, 20, 30 - how far can you go?
  3. Start at 50 and keep counting by ones.

Contar hasta el 100

Podemos contar de uno en uno (1, 2, 3) o de diez en diez (10, 20, 30) hasta llegar al 100.

Ejemplo 1: Cuenta de diez en diez como un salto: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50. Cada salto agrega un grupo entero de diez.

Ejemplo 2: Contar de uno en uno tarda mucho en llegar al 100, pero contar de diez en diez llega en solo diez saltos: 10, 20, 30 ... 90, 100.

Ejemplo 3: Empieza en 60 y sigue de diez en diez: 70, 80, 90, 100. No tienes que empezar en 10 cada vez.
