Teaching Guide — Count in 2s, 5s, 10s and 3s

This guide explains each lesson in easy English. It gives you the ideas, the words, the questions and the games. Read a topic the night before. Then teach it to Lia in your own way.

Lia can count to 100 in 1s. The new part is counting in groups of 2, 5 and 10 — first from 0, then from any number, forwards and back. Same jump every time!

Background A

How maths is taught in Year 2영국 Year 2 수학 수업 방식

What happens in a Year 2 maths lesson, so you can teach in the same way at home.

Small steps

Many schools in England use a plan called White Rose Maths. Each unit is cut into many small steps. The Addition and Subtraction unit has 21 small steps. This guide covers the first six. Each step is one small idea, and each new step uses the step before it. That is why the early steps, like bonds to 10, are so important.

Objects → pictures → numbers

Teachers call this concrete → pictorial → abstract. It means:

StageWhat it meansExample: 7 + 3
ConcreteReal things you can touch and move.7 red Lego bricks and 3 blue Lego bricks. Count them all: 10.
PictorialA drawing of the things.A ten frame with 7 dots and 3 dots.
AbstractOnly numbers and signs.7 + 3 = 10
  • ConcreteWhat it meansReal things you can touch and move.Example: 7 + 37 red Lego bricks and 3 blue Lego bricks. Count them all: 10.
  • PictorialWhat it meansA drawing of the things.Example: 7 + 3A ten frame with 7 dots and 3 dots.
  • AbstractWhat it meansOnly numbers and signs.Example: 7 + 37 + 3 = 10

Children do not always move in one direction. A child who is stuck on numbers goes back to pictures or objects. This is normal and good.

Three kinds of question

KindWhat it asksExample
FluencyCan you do it quickly and correctly?“What is 6 + 4?”
ReasoningCan you explain why? Is it true or false?“Bo says 20 + 50 = 700. Is he right? How do you know?”
Problem solvingCan you use it in a new or tricky situation?“Find two numbers that make 10. Now find all of them.”
  • FluencyWhat it asksCan you do it quickly and correctly?Example“What is 6 + 4?”
  • ReasoningWhat it asksCan you explain why? Is it true or false?Example“Bo says 20 + 50 = 700. Is he right? How do you know?”
  • Problem solvingWhat it asksCan you use it in a new or tricky situation?Example“Find two numbers that make 10. Now find all of them.”

Many children in Korea are very strong at fluency. The school will also ask Lia to reason and explain in English. This is where you can help the most.

Full sentences

Teachers give children sentence stems. A sentence stem is the start of a sentence with gaps. Children fill the gaps and say the whole sentence. For example:

  • “The whole is ___. The parts are ___ and ___.”
  • “I know ___, so I know ___.”
  • “___ and ___ make 10.”

At home, when Lia gives a one-word answer, you can say: “Can you say it in a full sentence?” Then help her with a stem from this guide.

Background B

The five pictures (models)다섯 가지 그림 모델

Lia will see these pictures in class. Learn them once. You will use them all year.

A model is a picture that shows a maths idea. Models help children see the maths. Each model below has: what it is, how to make it at home, and what to say.

1. Ten frame

7 and 3 make 10.

What it is: A box with 10 spaces, in 2 rows of 5. It shows how many there are, and how many more make 10.

Make it at home: Cut 2 cups off an egg box of 12, so it has 10 cups. Or draw a 2 × 5 grid on paper. Use coins, beads or small toys as counters.

YOU“How many counters can you see?”
YOU“How many empty spaces are there?”
YOU“So how many more do we need to make 10?”
YOU“Look at the top row. It has 5. The top row is full, so we know there are at least 5.”

2. Part–whole model

1394
The whole is 13. The parts are 9 and 4.

What it is: One big circle at the top (the whole) and two circles under it (the parts). The parts together make the whole.

Make it at home: Draw three circles on paper. Put real counters in them.

YOU“This is the whole. The whole is 13.”
YOU“These are the parts. The parts are 9 and 4.”
YOU“9 and 4 make 13.”
YOU“If we subtract one part from the whole, we get the other part.”

3. Bar model

169?
The whole is 16. One part is 9. What is the other part?

What it is: The part–whole idea drawn as long bars. The top bar is the whole. The bottom bars are the parts. It is very useful for story problems, because it shows what we know and what we need to find.

Make it at home: Cut strips of paper. Or draw rectangles. Write a question mark on the part you need to find.

YOU“The top bar is the whole. It is 16.”
YOU“This part is 9. This part is a mystery. What is it?”
YOU“9 plus what equals 16? Or: 16 subtract 9 is what?”

4. Tens and ones (base 10)

3 tens and 4 ones = 34

What it is: A long stick is 1 ten (10 small cubes stuck together). A small cube is 1 one. The picture shows 3 tens and 4 ones, so the number is 34.

Make it at home: Make towers of 10 Lego bricks. Each tower is a ten. Single bricks are ones. Or tie 10 straws or 10 ice-cream sticks with a rubber band. You can also use money: ten 10p coins make £1.

YOU“How many tens are there? How many ones?”
YOU“3 tens and 4 ones. That is 34.”
YOU“The 3 in 34 means 3 tens. It is worth 30.”
YOU“The 4 in 34 means 4 ones. It is worth 4.”

5. Number line

8910111213+2+3
8 + 5: jump 2 to get to 10, then jump 3 more. You land on 13.

What it is: A line with numbers in order. Adding means jumping forward (to the right). Subtracting means jumping back (to the left).

Make it at home: Use a ruler or a tape measure. Or write 0 to 20 on sticky notes on the floor, and let Lia jump on them.

YOU“Put your finger on 8.”
YOU“Jump forward 2. Where are you now?”
CHILD10!
YOU“Good. Now jump forward 3 more. Where are you?”
CHILD13.
YOU“So 8 add 5 is 13.”
One more picture

Lia may also see a rekenrek in class. It is a bead frame with two rows of 10 beads. The beads change colour after 5, so children can see 5 and 10 at a glance. It shows the same ideas as the ten frame.

Add by making 10 (with the rekenrek) →

Count in 2s, 5s and 10s2씩·5씩·10씩 뛰어 세기

Count real groups first. Then jump on a number line. Same jump every time!

한국어 요약

양말 켤레(2), 손(5), 꽉 찬 수판과 10p 동전(10)을 묶어 세고, 센 뒤에 count in 2s라는 이름을 붙이는 순서를 영어로 가르쳐요. 수직선 위 같은 크기의 뛰기, 100칸 수 배열표의 규칙, 5씩 세다 10씩으로 바뀌는 실수를 바로잡는 대본과 놀이를 담았어요.

Counting in 2s, 5s and 10s is counting in groups. Socks come in pairs (2s). A hand has 5 fingers (5s). A full ten frame or a 10p coin is 10 (10s).

Count real things first, then give the name. After Lia counts the socks in pairs, say: “That is called counting in 2s.”

Then show the same count as jumps on a number line. Start at 0. The first jump lands on 2, 5 or 10. Same jump every time!

The number of jumps and the number you land on are different. 7 pairs make 14 socks. 4 jumps of 10 land on 40.

Last, look for patterns on a hundred square. The 10s go straight down and end in 0. The 5s make two straight lines and end in 5 or 0.

Socks in pairs

DOPut out 5 pairs of socks. Keep each pair together.
YOU“How many socks?”
CHILD2, 4, 6, 8, 10. Ten socks!
YOU“You didn’t count one by one! Each pair is 2.”
YOU“That’s called counting in 2s.”

Let Lia count before you give the name. Experience first, name after.

Hands and ten frames

DODraw around 4 hands: 2 big hands and 2 small hands.
YOU“Big hands, small hands. How many fingers on each?”
CHILDFive! 5, 10, 15, 20.
YOU“Twenty fingers. That’s counting in 5s!”
DOPut out 3 full ten frames, or three 10p coins.
CHILD10, 20, 30.
YOU“Counting in 10s. Big jumps!”

Jumps on a number line

DODraw a line from 0 to 30 with a mark every 5. Do not write the numbers yet.
YOU“Start at zero. The first jump lands on 5.”
CHILD5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30.
YOU“How many jumps? Where did we land?”
CHILDSix jumps. But we land on 30!

Many children give the number of jumps (6) instead of where they land (30). Ask both questions.

Same jump every time

YOU“Watch me count in 5s. 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40!”
CHILDWait! Those jumps got bigger. You jumped 10.
YOU“You caught me! Thank you. So what comes after 20?”
CHILD25, then 30. Same jump every time!

Make this mistake on purpose, once. Catching your mistake helps Lia check her own counting.

Patterns on a hundred square

YOU“Colour the numbers you say in 10s. What do you notice?”
CHILDThey go straight down. They all end in 0.
YOU“Now colour the 5s.”
CHILDTwo straight lines. They end in 5 or 0.
YOU“Count in 5s. What comes after 65?”
CHILD70. I added 5 to 65.
YOU“Does 70 fit the pattern?”
CHILDYes. I know because 5s end in 5 or 0.

The pattern is a check. Lia finds the next number by adding the jump, then checks it with the pattern.

  • “What are we counting in?”
  • “Count in 2s.”
  • “Count in twos.”
  • “Count in steps of 5.”
  • “Count up in 10s.”
  • “What comes next?”
  • “How many pairs? How many socks?”
  • “Same jump every time!”
  • “Count in 2s. How many socks?”
  • “How much money? Count in 10s.”
  • “Fill in the missing numbers.”
  • “Colour the numbers you say when you count in 5s.”
  • “What do you notice?”
  • “What are we counting in? Why?”

    Good answers

    “2s, because socks come in pairs.” / “5s, because each hand has 5 fingers.”

  • “How many jumps? Where did we land?”

    Note

    Two different numbers: 4 jumps of 10 land on 40.

  • “Count in 5s. What comes after 65? How do you know?”

    Good answers

    “70. I added 5. And 5s end in 5 or 0.”

  • “What do you notice about the 10s on the hundred square?”

    Good answers

    “They go straight down. They all end in 0.”

  • When

    In 5s she says 5, 10, 15, 20, 30.

    Draw the jumps on a number line. The last jump is twice as long. “Same jump every time! After 20 comes 25.”

  • When

    She sees 7 pairs of socks and says “7 socks”.

    “7 pairs. How many socks?” Count in 2s together, pair by pair: 2, 4 … 14.

  • When

    She counts each sock, one by one.

    Keep each pair together. Point to a whole pair and say “2”, then the next pair “4”.

  • When

    In 2s she goes 16, 18, 19, 20.

    Use the hundred square. Each jump goes over one number: “18, then 20.”

  • When

    On the number line, she counts 0 as the first jump.

    “Start at zero. The first jump lands on 5.” Put a finger on 0 before you jump.

Game · Washing basket count

You need: clean socks in pairs, a washing basket

  1. Take out one pair at a time. Lia counts in 2s as each pair lands: 2, 4, 6 …
  2. Stop and ask: “How many pairs? How many socks?”
  3. Swap. You count, and make one mistake on purpose: 8, 10, 11. Can she catch it?
Coming later

Counting in 2s, 5s and 10s is the start of the 2, 5 and 10 times tables. Later in Year 2, “7 pairs make 14” becomes “7 groups of 2 make 14”.

Counting does not always start at 0. Start at your number. Keep the same jump. Forwards or back!

Ten more is straight down on a hundred square. The ones digit stays the same: 23, 33, 43, 53. Ten less is straight up.

When you count back, the start is not a jump. Back in 5s from 30: 25, 20, 15. Three jumps, and we land on 15.

Will you say it? Count near the number, then check with the pattern. Counting in 2s from 0, the numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8. So you will not say 15. Always say where the count starts: from 1, counting in 2s does say 15.

Count back

DODraw a line from 0 to 30 with a mark every 5. Put a toy on 30.
YOU“Count back in 5s from 30. Is 30 a jump?”
CHILDNo. 30 is the start. It’s not a jump.
CHILD25, 20, 15.
YOU“Three jumps back. Where did we land?”
CHILD15.

Some children say the start number as the first jump. Jump first, then say the number.

Ten more is straight down

DOPut the toy on 23 on the hundred square.
YOU“Count in 10s from 23. Where is 10 more?”
CHILDStraight down. 33.
YOU“And again?”
CHILD43, 53. The ones digit stays 3.

Catch the jump to the tens

YOU“Watch me. 23, 30, 40, 50.”
CHILDWait! 23 to 30 is only 7. That is not 10 more.
YOU“Show me on the hundred square.”
CHILDTen more is straight down. 23, 33, 43, 53.

Children who love round numbers often jump to the next ten. Slide a finger straight down to check.

Back in 10s

YOU“Now count back in 10s from 53.”
CHILDStraight up! 43, 33, 23.

Will you say it?

YOU“Count in 2s from 0. Will you say 15?”
CHILDNo. 12, 14, 16. I jump over 15.
YOU“How do you know?”
CHILDI know because from 0, 2s never end in 5.

A yes or no answer can be a lucky guess. Always ask “How do you know?”

  • “Count on in 10s from 23.”
  • “Count back in 5s from 50.”
  • “Start at 37 and count in 10s.”
  • “What comes next?”
  • “Will you say 15?”
  • “Ten more is straight down.”
  • “Ten less is straight up.”
  • “Count back in 2s. Fill in the missing numbers.”
  • “Count on in 10s from 46.”
  • “Will she say 15? Explain how you know.”
  • “Is he right? Explain your answer.”
  • “Where does the count start? Is the start a jump?”

    Note

    The start is where you stand. The first jump lands on the next number.

  • “What stays the same when you count in 10s from 23?”

    Good answers

    “The ones digit. It stays 3.”

  • “Will you say 15 counting in 2s from 0? How do you know?”

    Good answers

    “No. From 0, 2s end in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8.”

  • “Can you count back the same way?”

    Note

    Ten more is straight down. Ten less is straight up.

  • When

    From 23 in 10s, she says 23, 30, 40, 50.

    “Ten more is straight down.” Slide down from 23 on the hundred square: 33, 43, 53.

  • When

    Counting back, she says the start number as the first jump.

    “30 is the start. It is not a jump.” Jump first, then say the number.

  • When

    Going back across a ten is hard: 32, 30, 29.

    Count forwards on the same numbers first, then back. Every jump on the number line is the same size.

  • When

    She says “yes” to every “Will you say …?” question.

    Count near the number together: “12, 14, 16. Did we say 15?”

Game · Hundred square slide

You need: a hundred square, a small toy

  1. Put the toy on any number, like 37. Lia slides it straight down and says 47, 57, 67.
  2. Then straight up: 57, 47, 37.
  3. Swap. You count, and jump to the tens on purpose: 37, 40, 50. Can she catch it?
  • Count back in 10s from 98. What stays the same?
  • Count in 5s from 3: 3, 8, 13, 18 … What pattern do you see?
  • Will you say 50 if you count in 5s from 2? How do you know?
In the workbook

Count back in 2s, 5s and 10s, count in 10s from any number on a hundred square, and answer “Will you say it?”. Then fix a friend’s count.

  • “Read the question one more time.”
  • “Mistakes help us learn.”

Every day, ask these three questions

  • Question 1

    “What are we counting in?”

  • Question 2

    “Where does the count start?”

  • Question 3

    “Will you say it? How do you know?”

Next in class

After these steps, the class starts the Addition and Subtraction unit. Counting in 10s from any number helps with 10 more and 10 less. Later in Year 2, counting in 2s, 5s and 10s becomes the 2, 5 and 10 times tables.
