Counting to 100 by 2s, 5s, and 10s

Learn to count in groups - it's super fun and makes math easier!

Pax says: "G'day! I'm going to show you how to count by 2s, 5s, and 10s. It's like jumping along a number line! 🐨"

Counting by 2s

When we count by 2s, we jump 2 numbers each time! We skip one number between each jump. This is also called skip counting.

Let's count by 2s!

0
2
4
6
8
10

🐾 Tip: Look for pairs! Socks, shoes, eyes - they all come in 2s!

Keep going!

After 10 comes: 12, 14, 16, 18, 20

Then: 22, 24, 26, 28, 30 ... all the way to 100!

Counting by 5s

Counting by 5s is awesome! Every number ends in either 0 or 5. Think about fingers - we have 5 on each hand!

Let's count by 5s!

0
5
10
15
20
25

🖐️ Tip: Count your fingers! 5, 10, 15, 20, 25...

Keep going!

After 25 comes: 30, 35, 40, 45, 50

Then: 55, 60, 65, 70, 75 ... all the way to 100!

Counting by 10s

Counting by 10s is the easiest! Every number ends in 0. Think about your two hands making 10 fingers!

Let's count by 10s!

30
40
50

Tip: Count by 10s like a rocket: 10, 20, 30, 40... BLAST OFF! 🚀

Keep going!

After 50 comes: 60, 70, 80, 90, 100

We made it to 100! 🎉
