Let’s understand the idea.

  1. Choose a starting number. Every next number is one more.
  2. After 99 comes 100. After 109 comes 110. The counting pattern keeps going.
  3. You can organize a large set in groups of ten and then count the extra ones.

Something to notice

Listen as the child counts from several unfamiliar starting numbers through 120. Ask them to read and handwrite numerals and count physical objects. Typed sequence answers alone do not establish oral or handwriting proficiency.

Try it. Change it. Explain it.

Open the lesson to use its pictures and controls. In How it works, connect the picture to the idea. In Play & discover, change the quantities and notice what stays the same. In Your turn, answer questions and use the explanation to check your reasoning.

You can ask for help, draw on the thinking pad, or listen to the question and answer options. Progress distinguishes independent work from work completed with help.
