L1 · Counting forward to 100 from any number

Learning goal

“I can count forward by ones to 100. I can start at any number.”

Count forward — count up, one number at a time.

Start — the number you begin at.

Next — the number that comes right after.

Hundred chart — a chart of the numbers 1 to 100, in rows of ten.

Worked example

Start at 28. Count forward: 28, 29, ___, 31. What number is missing? Step 1: Count up one at a time: 28, 29. Step 2: After 29, the ones run out - the count hops into the next ten. Step 3: 28, 29, 30, 31. The missing number is 30.
