🏪 Market Story
Tunde's father is a bus conductor on a danfo in Lagos. At the end of the day, he counts his ₦10 notes. "Tunde, help me count," he says. Together they count each note: "1, 2, 3..." all the way to 100. "We collected ₦1,000 today!" his father says happily. (100 notes of ₦10 each = ₦1,000.)
📝 Let's Learn
You already know how to count to 50. Counting from 50 to 100 works the same way!
The tens from 50 to 100 are: 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100.
Between each ten: 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, then 60. Then 61, 62, 63... all the way to 100.
Example 1: What comes after 59? 60. After 69? 70. After 99? 100!
Example 2: Count from 77 to 83: 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83.
Example 3: Amina counts ₦5 coins. She reaches 95 and counts 5 more: 96, 97, 98, 99, 100!
