When you next see a thermometer you can show him that there are numbers below 0 too!

Start at 0 though! 0, 10, 20...

Yes in rec 10, 20, 30 etc

Great thank you!, I think he can do that, so is obviously not showing them at school

Sorry, just seen he's in reception. Pretty sure it's just 10, 20, 30, 40 etc up to 100.

When ds says he is counting it tens e says 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100....

I think it means being able to say 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 to 100 and maybe back down from 100 to 0. (100, 90, 80).

If he's a bit older it might possibly mean to be able to start from 2 (or any other number) for eg. 2, 22, 32, 42, 52...... Hope this makes sense.

My ds needs to learn to count in ten's, he can sort of count up to 40 and recognises numbers up to 20, is this a case of counting 1-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50 and so on? He is is reception.

I know I can ask the school but it is quicker to ask here
