What Are Counting Sequences?
Counting sequences are special patterns of numbers that follow a
rule.
When we count by 1s (1, 2, 3...), we're making a sequence. But we can also count by 2s (2, 4, 6...), 5s
(5, 10, 15...), or even go backwards! Sequences help us understand numbers better and make counting
faster.
How to Count in Sequences
1️⃣ Choose your counting rule (like +2 or -5)
2️⃣ Start with your first number (like 0 or 10)
3️⃣ Keep adding or subtracting following your rule

Parent Tips 🌟
- Count everyday objects - Practice sequences with toys, stairs, or snacks ("Let's count these grapes by 2s!")
- Make it musical - Sing counting songs or clap rhythms to different sequences
- Play hopscotch sequences - Draw a hopscotch grid but label the squares with sequence numbers (like 5, 10, 15...)
