Skip Counting By 2’s
Activity, Stage 3 – Evens and Odds
In addition to being good addtion practice, skip counting is a faster way to count a collection of things, such as toes, than counting them one at a time. Skip counting is also very helpful when learning multiplication later on.
Alternate counting turns
Count by 2’s while pushing your child on the swings (or anything else that involves counting). Start by alternating with your child – you say 1, your child says 2, you say 3, your child says 4, and so on. After establishing the pattern, one of you can say their part without the other person saying anything.
While traveling, find something fun to skip count like yellow cars.
