| Do you know how to count by 2? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |

| EVERYTHING... Think about it this way: How much is 2+2+2+2+2+2 or in other words 6 groups of 2. Or better yet how much is 6+6 or 2 groups of 6. | |

| Oh Okay. Now I get it. I can also skip count by 2s on the number line and stop after six jumps. | |
