Counting all the way to 1,000!
Second graders take counting into the hundreds. They count within 1,000 and skip count by 5s, 10s and 100s: 250, 260, 270 and 300, 400, 500. They learn that 10 tens make a hundred, so counting by tens past 100 just keeps the pattern going. They read and write numbers to 1,000 in digits, words and expanded form. Counting by 2s helps them spot even and odd numbers, too. The click comes when kids count by tens from 380 and cross into 400 without missing a beat!
Big numbers feel friendly when kids see the patterns inside them.
Give kids a big pile of beans or cubes and ask them to count by making groups of ten. Then group ten tens into a hundred. Grouping a huge pile shows kids why counting by tens and hundreds is so much faster than counting by ones.
Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.
Try it withCounting Groups of 10 ActivityActivitiesOpen it →Draw an open number line and start at 340. Ask kids to jump by tens to 400, then by hundreds to 800. Drawing the jumps helps kids see counting patterns and gets them ready for adding and subtracting bigger numbers.
Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).

Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).

By the end of 2nd grade, kids should count within 1,000 and skip count by 5s, 10s and 100s. They should also read and write numbers to 1,000.
Skip counting builds number patterns and place value, and it is the first step toward multiplication. Counting by 10s and 100s also helps kids add bigger numbers in their heads.
Show a hundreds chart from 100 to 200 and point out that it looks just like 1 to 100 with a 1 in front. Practicing the jump from 199 to 200 and 299 to 300 helps a lot.
Counting is saying numbers in order. Place value is knowing what each digit is worth, like the 3 in 352 meaning 3 hundreds. Counting by tens and hundreds builds place value.
