Counting in 2s; odd/even numbers
Counting
Count to 20 WITHOUT the support of a number track or 1-100 grid. Children hold up a finger for each number to 10, then one finger for 11, 2 for 12 and so on, and wave 1 or 2 hands for 5, 10, 15, 20, shouting these numbers.
Be sure to pronounce the teens numbers very clearly, so children don’t confuse them with the 10s numbers, e.g. confuse fifteen with fifty.
This is an activity which needs regular repetition so that more and more children learn the teens numbers in order by heart.
Chants/Rhymes/Songs
