Description

This math clip art image extends the concept of counting by twos, now showing the progression from 2 to 16 using pennies. The visual representation displays eight groups of pennies, each containing two coins. This image demonstrates the consistent pattern of skip counting even with larger numbers.

As students approach the end of this counting by 2s sequence, they are developing a strong understanding of number patterns and relationships. The use of pennies provides a concrete representation of these abstract concepts, making them more accessible to young learners.

This image reinforces the idea that skip counting is an efficient way to count larger quantities. It also helps students begin to see the connection between counting by 2s and the concept of multiplication, laying the groundwork for more advanced mathematical thinking.

Teacher's Script: "We're almost at the end of our penny count! Let's go through the whole sequence: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16. Notice how we've used 8 groups of 2 pennies to get to 16. Can you think of another way to describe 16 using 2s?"
