What Are Counting Patterns?
Counting patterns help us see the beautiful order in numbers!
When we count by 2s, 5s, or 10s, we're following special patterns that make counting faster and more
fun. These patterns are like secret codes hidden in numbers!
How to Find Counting Patterns
1️⃣ Start with the first number in your pattern
2️⃣ Jump the same amount each time (like +2 or +5)
3️⃣ Continue the pattern as far as you want to go!
