Counting by Tens - Peacocks

Enhance your primary school classroom with this vibrant and versatile resource for learning to skip count by 10s. Designed for Year 1 introduction or Year 2 skill development, these large, bright, and bold cards offer flexibility in teaching approaches. Use them to engage students in arranging cards, creating number lines, and identifying patterns. Extend learning by working with higher numbers and challenging students to create their own patterns. A valuable tool for both students and teachers, these cards are essential for any primary school classroom seeking to enrich their mathematics curriculum.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to count collections of items (e.g. coins) and skip count by 5s or 10s to record how many in the collection.
  • We are learning to count in ones, twos, fives and tens, to and from 100.
  • We are learning to recall multiplication facts for twos and apply to related division facts using doubling and halving.
  • We are learning to multiply and divide one- and two-digit numbers in word problems using a variety of strategies.
  • We are learning to recall multiplication facts for 3, 4, 5 and 10 and apply this to related division facts.
  • We are learning to recall multiplication facts of two, three, five and ten and related division facts.
  • We are learning to recognise, continue and create pattern sequences, with numbers, symbols, shapes and objects, formed by skip counting, initially by twos, fives and tens.
  • We are learning to recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays and to divide a set of objects into equal sized groups.
