The table shows the numbers in order.
You count in steps and mark every number that you land on.
Two different step sizes get two different marks.
Example: When counting in twos, mark with a cross: 2, 4, 6, 8 and so on.
When counting in fives, circle: 5, 10, 15, 20. The 10 and the 20 have both marks.
Example
- Cross (×2): 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20
- Circle (×5): 5, 10, 15, 20
- Both marks: 10, 20
For parents
What does this exercise practice?
Count in different steps and mark the hits in a table.
Common pitfalls
Children sometimes mark every number with the same sign. Make sure each step size keeps its own sign.
How to practice at home
Write down the numbers from 1 to 20. Count together in twos and fives and mark the hits.
