Skip Counting by Tens

An easy way to demonstrate skip counting is with an empty egg carton or ice cube tray and counters. We used buttons of different colors (10 buttons of each color) since we had just read the book Bunches of Buttons by Michael Dahl. 

We first counted out the 100 buttons, putting the buttons into groups of ten as we counted. We did this as we read the book.  Then, as we placed each group into a separate cup of the egg carton, we counted by tens:10, 20, 30...100. 

You could easily do the same thing for counting by 2s, 3s, 5s....
