Lesson Plan - Get It!

Audio:

If you ever have a collection of objects that are in groups of twos, there is a special way to count them.

This is called skip counting! You can skip count with any number. When you skip count with a number, you count up by that number. This lesson is all about skip counting by twos.

Any time you skip count by twos, each number you will count will be an even number. Read the numbers listed below aloud with your parent or teacher:

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20

You just counted by twos! Did you notice how all the numbers were even? Any number that ends with two, four, six, eight, or zero is an even number.
