one way we could figure out how many students we have in our class?
o Count by ones (Ask if there might be a faster way)
o Count by twos – student desks are in twos so we could count by twos.
 Ask which would be faster to find our answer.
 What are some other things would could count by 2s to find a total number faster?
o Do you think it would be faster to count the stars on the flag by 1s or 2s?
o The letters of the alphabet?
o The number of cubbies?
