Teen numbers: 10 and some more
Counting
Cover all multiples of 10 on a 1-100 grid with sticky notes. Use the grid to support counting to 100, with children using their fingers to match the 1s digits of the numbers. Emphasise numbers ending in 0 and 5.
Number bonds
With children in pairs, ask each pair to show you 10 fingers altogether, so one child might show 6 and the other might show 4. Now ask them to do this in a different way. Repeat.
Chants/Rhymes/Songs
Together, sing a song which counts to 20, e.g. Let's Count to 20 Song For Kids.
Story
Read Teeth, Tails, & Tentacles (an animal counting book) by Christopher Wormell. Together count how many legs, spots, eyes etc are on the animals (up to 20).

Exploring 100
Counting
Together, chant the numbers to 100, using both hands to mark the 10s: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! 11, 12 etc.
Number bonds
Put children in pairs: one child is a lion, the other a tiger! Tigers, show me 4 fingers. They calculate how many fingers their partner (the lion) must hold up to show 6 altogether. Repeat, asking tigers to show 0 to 6 fingers. Lions show the complement to 6. Try to build up the pace!
Tigers and lions swap roles. (Use for any pair you want to practise from 5 to 10.)
