Skip Counting Page 2

Skip counting by 2’a requires a bit more explanation. Provide ten small manipulatives such as pennies,

counters or buttons. Then have your child try and create two equal groups for each number one through ten. If

the number can create two equal groups, then we color or circle that number. Numbers that can be broken into two

equal groups are called ~ EVEN numbers.

Further explain that an even number is any number that ends in 2, 4, 6, 8 or 0. When we count by 2’s, we

are only counting even numbers. Allow your child to find all the EVEN numbers on a 100’s chart and then color,

highlight or circle them. Then practice using the chart to count by 2’s.

Keep these 100’s charts in a handy place and allow your child to use these charts as a visual support for as

long as he needs them. Click
