First Grade Challenge: February 20-24

Hello, first graders! This week, you will be looking for patterns when you skip count. Many of you already know how to skip count by 2s, like this:

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14...

or by 10s, like this:

10, 20, 30, 40, 50...

For today's challenge, you will use this hundreds board. Follow the directions below:

1. Count by 2s. Each number you say is considered a multiple of 2. Color the multiples of 2 blue on the hundreds board.

2. Next, count by 4s. Turn each multiple of 4 purple.

3. Write a sentence that tells what you noticed. What pattern did you see? What observations did you make?

Have an adult send your sentence to acsk2challenge@gmail.com . You will get a certificate for your hard work, and a lucky winner will get a sweet treat, too! Good luck!
