2nd Grade Math: What Is Skip Counting By 2s To 20?
Skip counting is a fun and useful way to help children learn multiplication and addition. In second grade, children are typically taught to skip count by 2, 5 and 10. Skip counting by 2 means counting up in twos - 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20.
To make learning to skip count by 2 more fun, you can use songs, rhymes and games. For example, you can sing a song that counts up in twos, or play a game where you challenge your child to count up in twos as quickly as possible.
Another way to help your child learn to skip count by 2 is to use visual aids, such as a number chart. You can point to the numbers as you count up in twos, and encourage your child to join in.
Remember that repetition is key when it comes to learning. The more your child practices skip counting by 2, the more comfortable and confident they will become with the concept.
