Description

This math clip art image continues the series on skip counting by 2's, now showing a number line with a skip count to 18. It builds upon the previous images by extending the count from 0 to 2, then to 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and now to 18. The number line clearly marks these numbers, with arrows indicating the movements between each number.

This visual representation is essential for solidifying the concept of skip counting and helping students recognize patterns in numbers. By showing the progression through multiple steps, it helps students understand the consistency and predictability in counting by 2's. The equal intervals between the numbers visually demonstrate the pattern in skip counting.

Using such math clip art is crucial in mathematics education, particularly for teaching counting concepts. These visual models help students understand abstract ideas by providing a concrete representation. For skip counting, seeing the repeated jumps on a number line reinforces the concept of equal intervals and helps students predict the next number in the sequence.

Teacher's Script: "We're almost at 20! Let's count together one more time: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18. Excellent! Can you see how we're always adding 2 to get to the next number? What do you think comes after 18 if we keep this pattern going?"
