Mrs. Bradley's Grade 2
2, 4, 6, 8, who do we appreciate? The Grade 2s expanded on their knowledge of skip counting by 2s. We had a problem that involved counting bicycle tires and build upon our skills. We skip counted by 2s starting at many different numbers. We found the even numbers easier than odd numbers. However, we used a hundreds chart and found some patterns, which made skip counting easier. Students discovered that if the last digit in a number is even, the last digit in every number will be even. But if the last digit in the number is odd, the last digit in every number will be odd. We also noticed that the last digit is always 2, 4, 6, 8, or 0 if you're counting even numbers, or 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 if you're counting odd numbers. Please practice this at home. Try giving your child a number and see if they can skip count to the next 6 numbers. Start simple, but try to challenge them too!
