Counting to 100

How to help

Say the numbers out loud from the first one shown and write the ones that are missing. After a number ending in 9, a new ten starts: 89, 90.

• countsay numbers in order, one at a time
• count by tens10, 20, 30, and so on
• missingleft out; a blank to fill in
• hundred100, or ten tens

Watch for: Saying 89, 80 instead of 89, 90 when a new ten starts. Writing the digits the wrong way round, like 58 for 85. Skipping a number when two blanks sit side by side.

At home: Count together on walks or while you wait: by ones up to 100, or by tens. Stop partway and let your child say what comes next.
