About the skip counting by 10s chart

Counting by 10s shades a single column — 10, 20, 30 down the chart’s edge — and that column is the skeleton of the whole number system: the decade numbers every other count hangs off. It’s the first skip count children learn, the basis of dimes and ten-frames, and the exact motion of “ten more” on the hundreds chart: one hop straight down.

Frequently asked questions

Why teach counting by 10s first?

It matches place value directly — each count adds one ten — and it has the simplest possible pattern: everything ends in zero.

How does it connect to the hundreds chart?

Ten more is one row down, so counting by 10s is just walking down a column. That single insight powers two-digit mental math.

Is it free to print?

Yes — free to print, download and copy, no sign-up.
