G’day, wonderful Mathematicians! Today, we are going to embark on a fun adventure into the land of numbers! Have you ever wondered what magical things happen when we count by 2? Well, today is your lucky day because we will uncover the secrets of counting by twos!
Let’s meet our friends, Benny and Bella, the kangaroos! 🦘 Benny loves to hop in groups of 2, and Bella likes to jump just as much! One sunny day in the bush, they decided to count how many hops they could take together.
Benny and Bella set a challenge: "Can we count how many hops we take if we jump together? Let's start counting!" They decided to hop one hop for every two fingers they hold up. So, they each showed two fingers.
Alright, mates! If Benny jumps once and Bella jumps once, how many hops do you think they’ve made? Let’s count:
Now if we add Benny's 2 hops to Bella's 2 hops, how many hops have they made in total?
“Wow! They hopped 4 times together!”
Now it’s your turn to be a part of the "Two Fingers Talent Show!" Here’s what you will do:
Can you see how magical counting by 2 is? Remember, each time you jump, you are not just counting; you are joining Benny and Bella on their adventure!
As we finish our day together, let’s celebrate the hops we made! You did an amazing job counting by 2! Keep practicing, and soon you will be able to hop all the way to high numbers!
Now, lets finish with a cheer together: “COUNTING BY 2… WE CAN DO IT TOO!” 🎉
What’s next? Let’s hop right into more fun with numbers and find out how counting by 2 helps us in the big, wide world!
