Description

This math clip art image continues the exploration of counting by twos, now showing the progression from 2 to 18 using pennies. The visual representation displays nine groups of pennies, each containing two coins. This image represents the penultimate step in our counting sequence.

As we approach the end of the counting by 2s sequence, students can see how this method of skip counting allows for quick and efficient counting of larger quantities of pennies. This understanding is crucial for developing mental math skills and preparing for multiplication concepts.

The consistent use of pennies throughout the series helps students visualize how mathematical concepts apply to real-world scenarios, such as counting money. This practical application enhances the relevance and engagement of the learning experience.

Teacher's Script: "We're at our second-to-last number in our penny count! Let's count together one more time: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18. Can you predict what our final number will be when we add one more group of 2 pennies?"
