Counting on with our learning buddies

Today we worked with our learning buddies to choose a number, make the number and use the strategy of counting on from 10 to check our number (each bundle of pop sticks is 10) ....

Jack used his 10 and 5 skip counting to check his number
10,20,30,40,50,60,70,75,76
Check out his tally mark in the ones column - this makes it easy to see its a group of 5.
Great strategy, Jack !

Gwen and Dom used 10 and 5 skip counting to check their number
10,20,30,35

Riley and Cahlia used skip counting to check their number
10,20,30,31,32,33

Jordan and Harlem counted in 10s to check their number

10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100,104

Our challenge tomorrow: to make bigger numbers using lots of different materials
