Q1. If you have 8 shells, how many pairs (groups of 2) can you make?
4 pairs (2+2+2+2 = 8, or 8 xc3xb7 2 = 4).
Q2. Count in twos from 2 to 20. Write all the numbers.
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20.
Q3. If you have 15 pebbles and group them in fives, how many groups do you get?
3 groups of five (5+5+5 = 15).
Q4. Count in fives from 5 to 50. Write all the numbers.
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50.
Q5. You have 23 seeds. How many complete groups of ten can you make, and how many seeds are left over?
2 complete tens, with 3 seeds left over (10+10+3 = 23).
Q6. Would you count 30 marbles faster by counting one by one, or by grouping them in tens? Why?
Grouping in tens is faster — you only need to count 10, 20, 30 (three counts) instead of counting all the way from 1 to 30.
Q7. If you count 4, 8, 12, 16, what group size are you counting in?
Groups of 4 (each number is 4 more than the last) — though this chapter focuses mainly on twos, fives, and tens.
Q8. You have 18 shells. Group them in twos and count. How many pairs do you get?
9 pairs (2xc3x979 = 18).
