Teaching Skip Counting by 2's

Video Transcript

One of the great things that you can use the number grid for once you got yourself a nice number grid and remember to either make a bunch of photo copies or a little number grid or make yourself a nice big number gird that's laminated with wipe off marker so that you can use it again and again. But one other great thing is to teach skip counting. Now skip counting is very important because they will use it later on to count things that come in 2's and 5's and 10's. They will use it for multiplication for counting money, for many different things, but there's a lot of different skips you can do. You can do by 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, etc., but the 3 most basic all start with the 2's, the 5's, and the 10's. I'm going to show you how to do the 2's first. Basically you take your number grid and you start circling 2, 4, 6, 8, and just stop there and let them memorize cause they're going to learn by chanting the memorization. So take that and teach them the old cheerleading chant: 2, 4, 6, 8, who do we appreciate? And they kind of like that. Then you can move on from there: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and circle the 10. Let them say that a few times, even for the whole day. Just practice; 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and then 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and then 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18. And then add a number every day and move on as you go until they can say without flinching; 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22. Once they get up to 22, they pretty much got it because then it repeats 24, it repeats the same beginning pattern of 2, 4, 6, 8, but now we're in 20's and then we move from there. 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, and so on. So that's how you teach skip counting 2's.
