Skip counting by 10 is a fun and helpful way for kindergarten students to learn to count in multiples of 10. Instead of counting one by one, they count by adding 10 each time. For example, they would count 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and so on. This skill helps them understand number patterns and later lays the foundation for addition and multiplication.
The EY 3 children practiced counting by tens in a fun and active hopscotch game. Spot markers labelled with multiples of ten (10, 20, 30, 40, etc.) were placed at intervals, and the children hopped from one number to the next, counting out loud as they moved. Each time they landed on a number, they said the next multiple of ten (e.g., “10, 20, 30, 40”), reinforcing the skip-counting pattern. This engaging activity not only made skip counting enjoyable but also helped develop their gross motor skills.
