Math Clip Art--Counting Examples--Counting By Fives 03

Topic

Numbers

Description

This math clip art image continues the sequence of counting by fives, showing two groups of 5 pennies, totaling 10 cents. It builds upon the previous image, reinforcing the pattern of adding groups of five.

By presenting multiple groups of five pennies, this image helps students visualize how skip counting works. They can see that instead of counting each penny individually, they can count the groups to arrive at the total more efficiently.

This approach not only teaches skip counting but also lays the groundwork for understanding multiplication, as students begin to see how repeated addition of the same number (in this case, 5) leads to predictable patterns.

Teacher's Script: "Now we have two groups of pennies. Let's count them by fives: 5, 10. See how we jumped from 5 to 10? That's because we added another group of 5. Can you show me 10 fingers in two groups of 5?"
