Multiplication and division - Count in 10s 2 - Worksheet

The 'Count in 10s' worksheet is an educational resource designed to help children grasp the concept of counting in multiples of ten. Initially, students who are encountering this concept for the first time are provided with visual aids such as pictures, bead strings, and number lines. These tools support their understanding and allow them to see patterns within the numbers as they count. The worksheet includes a number line in tens to facilitate this learning. For those who have previously counted in twos and fives, this represents a natural progression in their mathematical development.

As students become more confident with counting in tens, the worksheet offers more challenging tasks. They are prompted to count larger quantities that extend beyond one hundred and are required to draw these amounts, with less reliance on visual aids. The worksheet also introduces two-step problems to deepen their understanding. For fluency and precision, students are given scenarios involving penguins on blocks of ice and wolves on boulders, where they must calculate the total number of animals by multiplying the number on each block or boulder by the total number of blocks or boulders. The worksheet progresses to reasoning questions where students must determine the accuracy of statements and solve problems involving the purchase of apples and the arrangement of flowers, enhancing their problem-solving skills.
