Subject: Mathematics

Grade Level: 2

Duration: 30 minutes

---

Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

1. Understand the concept of skip counting.
2. Skip count by 2s, 5s, and 10s accurately.
3. Apply skip counting in practical scenarios.

Materials Needed

• Whiteboard and markers
• Skip counting number charts (2s, 5s, and 10s)
• Counting manipulatives (e.g., blocks, counters)
• Worksheet for practice problems
• Interactive counting game (if technology permits)

---

Common Core Standards

• CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.OA.B.2: Add and subtract within 20 to solve word problems.
• CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.A.2: Count within 1000; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and 100s.

Lesson Outline

Introduction (5 minutes)

1. Engagement: Begin with a brief review of counting by 1s. Ask students to count from 1 to 10 together as a class.
2. Introduction to Skip Counting: Explain that today they will learn a faster way to count using skip counting. Define skip counting as counting by numbers other than one.

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

1. Skip Counting by 2s:

   • Demonstrate on the whiteboard:
     • Start with 2, then 4, 6, 8, 10...
   • Discuss the pattern: Add 2 each time.
   • Use manipulatives to visually represent counting by 2s (groups of 2).

2. Skip Counting by 5s:

   • Continue the demonstration:
     • Start from 5, then 10, 15, 20, 25...
   • Discuss the pattern: Add 5 each time.
   • Engage students with manipulatives—arranging them in groups of 5.

3. Skip Counting by 10s:

   • Final demonstration:
     • Start from 10, then 20, 30, 40, 50...
   • Discuss the pattern: Add 10 each time.
   • Use a counting chart and highlight the numbers.

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

1. Group Activity:

   • Divide students into small groups.
   • Each group will use the manipulatives to create skip counting patterns on their desks.
   • Students will work together to write the sequences on their individual whiteboards.

2. Class Participation:

   • Ask selected groups to share their skip counting sequences with the class.
   • Encourage the class to clap or cheer as they correct and confirm sequences together.

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

1. Worksheet Activity:
   • Hand out a worksheet with problems that require students to fill in the missing numbers in skip counting sequences for 2s, 5s, and 10s.
   • Circulate the room to provide assistance where needed.

Closing (5 minutes)

1. Review: Recap what was learned about skip counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s.
2. Exit Ticket: Have students write down one thing they learned about skip counting and the table they found easiest (2s, 5s, or 10s).
3. Preview of Next Lesson: Briefly mention that the next class will build on skip counting in relation to addition and subtraction.

---

Assessment

• Observe students during guided practice to evaluate their understanding.
• Review completed worksheets to assess their ability to skip count correctly.
• Collect exit tickets to gauge individual students' comprehension and engagement.

---

Modifications

• For advanced learners: Offer challenges that include skip counting by 3s or extending sequences beyond 100.
• For struggling learners: Provide additional manipulatives and one-on-one support during independent practice.

This lesson plan aims to create a fun and interactive environment for Grade 2 students while developing their foundational skills in skip counting.
