Content : 

In maths, skip counting is a method of counting forward by numbers other than one.

The knowledge of skip counting helps children to remember their multiplication tables and facts.

To skip count, we keep adding the same number each time to the previous number.

SKIP COUNT BY 2

To skip count by 2, we keep adding 2 to the previous number.

Example: to skip count by 2——-

We start with 0. The next number will be 0+2 + 2, then 2+ 2=4, then 4+2=6, then 6+2=8,

then 8+2= 10 etc

So, to skip count by 2——-we have——— 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20.

Skip counting is a fundamental skill that helps children count groups of objects quickly and learn addition.

 

in two

Write out numbers 1— 20 on a colouring board or on a colouring paper

 

Get a coloured pencil and give to each child (Every child should have his or her board or paper

Colour on each multiple of two ( 2, 4, 6, 8 etc)

Teacher : counts 1, 2 ( colour the 2)

Children: counts 1, 2 and colour 2

Teacher: count 3, 4 ( colour 4)

Children: counts 3, 4( colour 8) You continue till you get to 20

 

After the board or paper has been coloured, ask the kids to recite all the numbers they coloured———-

The children will recite, looking at their board or paper—— — 2. 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16,

18, 20

With this exercise, they will understand how to skip count in two
