  • Display a copy of the Skip Counting: What Do You Notice? worksheet on the document camera. Avoid showing the title of the worksheet so that students are not given an idea of what they should focus on when making observations about the images. Give students about 20 seconds to look at the images without talking.
  • Ask students to share what they noticed. Jot ideas down on a piece of chart paper to come back to throughout the lesson as necessary.
