Lesson details
Key learning points

- You can start counting in tens from any decade number.

Regular practice and identification and discussion of common errors with opportunity to correct them.
Keywords
Number names 10 to 50 - eg 'ten' for 10
Decade numbers - These are the multiples of ten which mark the tens boundary where the pattern of counting changes.
Practise counting to 100 and beyond in daily routines, including saying the number names, enumerating a quantity of objects and pointing to numerals. When counting in 10s, ask children to predict who will say a given number during a count.
