 KinderMath: Numbers to 100
*We begin a new unit today called Numbers to 100 with today's lesson focusing on counting by 2's.

A stack of 20 unmatched socks will be placed in the middle of our circle. "How many socks do I have? 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. "Remember Mathematicians always want to get to an answer the most efficient way possible! I will count them by 2’s. When we count by 2’s, we are skip-counting."  I will show the kids how to “whisper” count to 20 by whispering the skipped number and “shouting” the numbers counted by 2’s. For example, 1 (whisper), 2 (shout), 3 (whisper), 4 (shout), etc.      Music Today
