Math
: Counting
money is a great way to practice and use skip counting.
Have
your child
count
different
combinations of coins. For example 3
dimes, 1 nickel and 2 pennies etc.
Ask
them to
show
you different money
amounts…..Show me 47 cents etc.
You
can also practice skip counting by having them count different objects…blocks,
noodles, buttons etc. You can group them
with different amounts….show them 2 groups of 10, a group of 5 and 2 loose
ones.
Can
you skip count by 2 starting on a number other than 2? Start on 12, for
example. Start on an odd number….skip count by 2 starting on 9.
