Count on it, count by it, count it all
Counting grows a lot across the early grades. Kindergartners count to 100 by ones and tens and count up to 20 objects, knowing the last number tells how many. First graders count to 120, start counting on to add, and count back to subtract. In 2nd grade, kids skip count by 5s, 10s and 100s up to 1,000: 350, 360, 370, 380. The big click is seeing counting as patterns, which leads straight into place value, addition and multiplication.
Counting sticks with rhythm, real objects and lots of talking about how we counted. These are our go-to moves.
Pick one skip-counting song for the week, like counting by fives. Clap or jump on each number as you sing. By Friday, kids can count nickels or tally marks without missing a beat.
Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).

Then count the bundles by tens and the loose sticks by ones. It turns counting big numbers into a quick and accurate job, and it sets up place value.
Why it works: kids understand an idea best when they touch it, then draw it, then write it, the order the U.S. Department of Education recommends for elementary math.

By the end of kindergarten, kids count to 100 by ones and tens, count forward from any number, and count up to 20 objects to tell how many. They also write numbers from 0 to 20.
Skip counting is counting by a number other than one, like 2, 4, 6, 8 or 5, 10, 15, 20. It helps kids count faster and builds the base for multiplication.
Counting on is an addition strategy where kids start at the bigger number and count up. For 8 + 3, they say "8" and count 9, 10, 11. It's faster than counting both groups from one.
Use a hundreds chart and show how the pattern repeats: 98, 99, 100, 101. Count by tens past 100 to show the pattern too. Songs that count to 120 help the order stick.
