 Math: Counting By 2's

A stack of 20 socks {unmatched} will be placed in the middle of the circle. "How many socks do I have here? Can I know without counting? 

How many socks do you need to put on your shoes? When we have two of something we call this a pair or a match."

After making the 10 sets of pairs, we will go back and count the socks one-by-one. "Boys and girls, remember mathematicians always want to get to an answer the most efficient way possible! I will count them by 2’s.”

 I will then count the socks by 2’s. "When we count by 2’s, we are skip-counting. Skip-counting means we are skipping over a number to get there quicker. It is kind of like a pattern!"

 I will show the kids how to “whisper” count to 20. This simply means we whisper the skipped number and “shout” the numbers counted by 2’s. For example, 1 (whisper), 2 (shout), 3 (whisper), 4 (shout), etc.
