Today you will be counting in tens.
Parents
Children count in groups of tens for the first time.
Previously they have counted in 2s and 5s.
They use pictures, bead strings and number lines to support their counting.
Counting in 10s on a hundred square will also support children to see the similarities between the numbers when we count in tens.
