Counting Campsite Essentials!

Imagine a cozy campsite crackling with a warm campfire. A young camper, nestled in a bright red tent with their loyal dog by their side, relaxes after a day of exploration. 

In a row in front of them are some familiar sights – a bright green backpack filled with adventure supplies, a boy roasting a marshmallow over the fire, and a steaming kettle ready for hot cocoa. 

Numbers peek out: 10, 20, 40, and 50. But uh oh, looks like there's a missing number above the boy roasting the marshmallow!

At the bottom of the screen, there are some number choices: 30, 20, and 28.  

A friendly message pops up at the top that says: "Skip count by 10s. Drag & drop the missing number."  

Can you see your child's eyes light up as they analyze the scene, figuring out the missing number and dragging it to the right spot?

Counting Stars Under the Night Sky!

Night has fallen, blanketing the campsite in a magical darkness. A crackling fire throws dancing shadows while a girl sits mesmerized, roasting a marshmallow to golden perfection. 

Beside her, a roasted marshmallow sits ready for a delicious snack. In a row in front of her are more familiar sights: a vibrant orange backpack holding treasures from the day, and a glowing lantern illuminating the scene. 

Numbers peek out: 80, 90, 100, and 120. But wait a minute, there's a blank space above the orange backpack – it seems like a number is missing!

But what number should go above the backpack?  Look down below – there are some number choices waiting to be picked: 90, 110, and 118.  

See the friendly message at the top that says: "Skip count by 10s. Drag & drop the missing number."  Can you help your child solve the mystery?  

Counting Your Way to Adventure!

As twilight fades, the campsite is bathed in the cool embrace of a starry night. A gentle breeze whispers through the trees, carrying the secrets of nocturnal creatures. Stars begin to twinkle brightly overhead, casting a soft glow on the scene. Our young campers rest peacefully in their bright red tent, ready for another day of exploration. 

In a row in front of the tent lie familiar sights: a bright green backpack filled with adventure supplies, a boy roasting a marshmallow over a crackling campfire that casts dancing shadows, and a steaming kettle promising a warm drink in the morning. This time, however, things get a bit trickier!

We've given you a helpful hint with the number 20, but there are more missing numbers waiting to be found. This might seem a little challenging at first, but that's what makes it so much fun!  

Look!  At the bottom of the screen, there are some number detectives ready to help: 50, 40, 10, and 30.  

See the friendly message at the top that says: "Skip count by 10s. Drag & drop ALL the missing numbers."  

Can you see your child's concentration kick in as they strategize, dragging and dropping the numbers to complete the sequence by 10s and fill up all the blank spaces?  

Get ready to send your child on a learning adventure under the stars!

Why is Skip Counting by 10s Important for Young Explorers?

While it might seem like a simple skill, mastering skip counting by 10s unlocks a treasure trove of benefits for your child. It's like learning a secret code that helps them navigate the world of numbers with confidence. Here's why this deck is more than just a fun game:

  • Building a Strong Math Foundation: Skip counting by 10s lays the groundwork for understanding multiplication and place value. It helps them grasp patterns and relationships between numbers, making future math concepts easier to learn.
  • Boosting Mental Math Skills: Skip counting allows your child to solve simple math problems quickly and efficiently, without relying on their fingers. This mental agility will benefit them throughout their academic journey and everyday life.

Bonus Points for Skip Counting by 10s Fun!

Learning shouldn't stop at the campsite! Here are some ways to extend the skip counting fun beyond the Summer Skip Counting Boom Cards:

  • Campfire Counting: Gather around the campfire and take turns skip counting by 10s. You can even add a silly twist – for every multiple of 30, everyone has to sing a camp song!
  • Nature Scavenger Hunt: Create a nature scavenger hunt with clues that involve skip counting by 10s. For example, "Find 10 pinecones" or "Skip count by 10s as you hop over 5 rocks."
  • Counting on the Trail: While hiking, challenge your child to skip count by 10s as they count trees, wildflowers, or even their own footsteps!

Did you know? Campfires have been a source of warmth, light, and storytelling for thousands of years! Imagine all the amazing stories that have been told by the flickering firelight.  Next time you gather around the fire, why not skip count by 10s as you share stories or roast marshmallows? It's a fun way to practice math and connect with your loved ones.

Speaking of fun, did you know the average summer tent can hold between 2 and 6 people? That's plenty of space for skip counting adventures with friends and family! Use a nature scavenger hunt as an opportunity to explore the campsite, all while practicing your skip counting by 10s.

And finally, another fun fact for your next camping trip: The fluffy white center of a perfectly roasted marshmallow is called the "fluff." The next time you're counting by 10s on the trail, keep an eye out for the perfect roasting spot. Remember, skip counting by 10s can help you keep track of how many marshmallows each person gets –  no arguments allowed!

With a little creativity, you can turn everyday moments into engaging skip counting practice.
