Skip Counting by Twos

Okay, boys and girls. Today we’re going to be learning about counting by twos. Starting anywhere on our hundred-chart, and then I’m going to let you guys try on your own. Watch Mrs. Simms first. I’m going to start at, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20. I can also start anywhere else on this hundred chart and count by twos. I started a number and I jump over the next and land on the following one. Just like this if I start at 42, I’m going to jump over 43 and land on 44. I’m going to continue to do that and count by twos. Watch me 46, 48, 50, I’m going to jump over 51, and land on 52, 54, 56, 58, 60. Okay, first-graders what we’re going to do for our second part today is called, we do. We’re going to do it together and count by twos. I’m going to point to a number on our hundred-chart, and you’re going to say them aloud as I point to them. Okay, first number we’re going to start at is 72. Okay, we’re going to count by twos. Ready? Count with me, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90. Freeze, give yourself a pat on the back. Nice job. Next time we’re going to be counting by twos the same way, but we’re going to start at 22. Count with me. Ready? 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40. Nice job, you rock today. I have these little sticky notes, and I’m going to ask that you put a sticky note on the next number when you count by twos. Chloe why don’t you come up first. Okay, so let’s start at two, right up here. I’m going to put my number on, my sticky note on two, and I’d like for you to put your note on the next number counting by twos. Good job. Say it out loud. Nice job, good job Chloe. All right, will you come up next? Okay, this time we’re just going to keep going. What is the next number after number 20? 22. Nice job. I like how you changed your mistake. Thank you. Maddie, you rock.
