The document discusses skip counting in Mrs. Shivers' first grade class. It explains that skip counting is counting by a number other than one, which allows students to count things faster and helps them learn multiplication. Students take turns sitting and standing in a line to practice skip counting by twos and counting alternating numbers. The next day, students will practice skip counting by fours and fives.

1. SKIP COUNTING
Mrs. Shivers
First Grade

2.  Skip counting means to count by a number other than one
 By skip counting, you are able to count things faster
 Skip counting also helps to learn multiplication

3.  I need 10 people to the front of the class.
 Stand in a line next to each other facing the class.
 The first person will sit, the next stand, the next sit, the
next stand…. Every other person should be
sitting/standing.
 We will count the people in the line by whispering the
ones sitting and shouting the ones standing.
 Like this… one, TWO, three, FOUR, five, SIX, seven.
 Count the line.
 We have now skip counted by 2’s the line of people.

4.  We will count by 2’s.
 What number will come next?
 2, 4, 6, 8…..

6.  Now we need 15 people to the front of the class in a line.
 The first 2 will sit, the next 1 will stand, next 2 will sit, the
next 1 will stand.

9. Tomorrow, we will practice skip
counting with our numbers today, and
start counting by 4’s and 5’s.

10.  (1.5) Patterns, relationships, and algebraic thinking.
The student recognizes patterns in numbers and
operations. The student is expected to:
 (A) use patterns to skip count by twos, fives, and
tens;
 (B) find patterns in numbers, including odd and
even;
