By the end of this unit, children will be able to:
- Explore counting both forwards and backwards in 2s.
- Know and understand the language of multiplication, for example, “There are 5 equal groups of 2. There are 10 altogether.”
This unit allows children to practice skip counting by 2s as a precursor to multiplication, helping students become familiar with the concept of repeated addition.
Curriculum Alignment: Year 2 Number: Number and Place Value
- Count in steps of 2, 3, and 5 from 0, and in 10s from any number, forward and backward.
