Description

This math clip art image concludes the sequence of counting by twos, showing the progression from 2 to 20 using pennies. The visual representation displays ten groups of pennies, each containing two coins. This image represents the final step in our counting sequence, demonstrating how skip counting extends to larger numbers.

As we reach the end of the counting by 2s sequence, students can see how this method 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 image reinforces the pattern of adding 2 each time, even as we reach higher numbers in our sequence.

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, making abstract concepts more tangible and relatable for young learners.

Teacher's Script: "We've reached our final number in our penny count! Let's count all our groups one last time: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20. We have 10 groups of 2 pennies, giving us 20 cents in total. Can you think of something you might buy with 20 cents?"
