Elaborations
- • Elaboration using number charts, songs, rhymes and stories to establish skip counting sequences of twos, fives and tens
- • Elaboration using shapes and objects to represent a growing pattern formed by skip counting; for example, using blocks or beads to represent the growing patterns 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 … and 5, 10, 15, 20 …
- • Elaboration recognising the patterns in sequences formed by skip counting; for example, that skip counting in fives starting from zero always results in either a 5 or zero as the final digit
- • Elaboration counting by twos, fives, or tens to determine how much money is in a collection of coins or notes of the same denomination; for example, 5 cent, 10 cent and \$2 coins, or \$5 and \$10 notes
- • Elaboration role-playing being an industrial robot on an assembly line that packs various items into boxes or packets in groups of five or ten, keeping count of the total number of items produced
- • Elaboration using different variations of the popular Korean counting game Sam-yuk-gu for generating skip counting pattern sequences
