Hello year 2 students my name is Ella and I'll be your teacher today.
Today's lesson is about practicing our counting
it's an important skill. To do that we need to collect lots of items from around where we are
these are things I found I found dry pasta
plastic forks and spoons
wooden blocks
leaves from trees
pegs from the washing line
rocks in the garden
rubber bands
and I'll also need some paper and pencils what I'd like you to do is find some of the things
where you are maybe they are these or maybe they are socks or plastic cups anything you have
that you have a lot of please press pause and I'll see you when you have your collection.
Welcome back I hope you had lots of fun finding your things for us to count
this will be our collection and we'll need these things for our lessons together.
Knowing how much you have is important you might need to know how many players do I
need on my team? How many biscuits do I have to share with my friends
or hmm how many sleeps till my next birthday? Knowing how much you have is sometimes called
a quantity a total or an amount in this lesson we will make it, draw it, write it.
All right let's make a quantity of 20, let's do this together we'll count as we go one
two
three
four five
six seven eight nine ten here's our first ten. Let's keep going eleven twelve thirteen
fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen eighteen nineteen and twenty. Well done I hope your
collection looks like mine so what we have here are two arrays an array of ten and an
array of ten two lots of ten make twenty. It's an easy way to count but let's count backwards now
we'll start with twenty nineteen can I hear you eighteen seventeen sixteen fifteen fourteen
thirteen twelve eleven
might be a rocket ship coming ten nine eight seven six five four three two one
blast off All right well
done now let's change our two arrays to one line of twenty let's do it together
now I have one to twenty and I'm going to try skip counting I think you've probably
done it before skip counting is almost like skipping moving one to the other
and we're going to do twos to start with okay counting by twos so here we go
two oh I started with two not one two four did you see I skipped let's start again two four six
eight ten
twelve fourteen sixteen eighteen twenty.
Now your turn press pause while you count two to twenty
Welcome back now I know you can skip count by two let's try something different
skip counting by fives so if i start skip counting with fives I'll need to start at 5 here we go
five
ten
fifteen and twenty press pause and skip count by fives
you don't need to stop at twenty if you're very good at it
okay well done so we've skipped countered by twos and fives let's try tens
you'll remember this we'll use a hundreds chart to help you so we'll start with 10
twenty
thirty forty fifty
sixty seventy eighty ninety one hundred and look we can keep going here's a hundred and ten.
I wonder what happens next? Okay remember at the start of the lesson I said let's make, it
draw it, or write it, so now our task is we need to write down
our skip counts so I'm going to start with our twos. Two four six eight I'm going to do
my fives five ten fifteen twenty and I'm going to skip count by tens ten twenty thirty
forty. Okay so I've started my skip counting by twos two four six eight I can keep going I've
started my skip counting by fives five ten fifteen twenty and I've started my skip counting with ten
twenty thirty forty. I'd like you to do this on a piece of paper and fill it up practicing your
skip counting and don't forget the little tricky one one two skip a few ninety nine a hundred
Okay how did you go I'd like to show you my numbers remember we're counting by twos
fives and tens you might like to continue either by saying these numbers or writing them down
past one hundred wonder if you can get to a thousand have fun I'll see you next time
