Place value - Counting in 10s 2 - Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to help children reinforce their understanding of counting in tens. The activity involves using beads as a manipulative aid, allowing children to physically count in increments of ten and write down the sequence they create. To support their learning, a number line is provided, which serves as a visual guide for counting in tens. As the children progress, they are encouraged to fill in the worksheet using the manipulatives, which helps to solidify the concept of counting in tens and understand the pattern of the number sequence.

For children who have gained confidence in counting in tens, the worksheet offers two additional challenges. The first challenge involves recognising how many groups of ten make up a certain number, while the second extends their understanding beyond the boundary of 100, allowing them to practice adding and subtracting groups of ten. This further develops their numerical fluency and precision. Additionally, the worksheet includes reasoning tasks, where children apply their counting skills to solve problems and answer questions related to the number of beads in various scenarios. This encourages the application of their counting skills in a problem-solving context, enhancing their mathematical reasoning abilities.
