Main Lesson Activity
Introduction to Counting Forward and Backward

• Counting is a way of finding


out how many things there
are in a group.
• Counting forward means
adding numbers in order.
• Counting backward means
subtracting numbers in
reverse order.
Counting Forward in Steps of 2, 3, 5, and 10

• We can count forward in


steps of 2, 3, 5, or 10 to
reach a bigger number
quickly.
• For example, counting
forward in steps of 2: 2, 4, 6,
8, ...
• We can skip count using
these steps to make
counting easier and faster.
Interactive Slide

True or False: Counting forward


in steps of 5 from 20, we will
reach 50.
Counting Backward in Steps of 1, 2, 5, and 10

• We can count backward in


steps of 1, 2, 5, or 10 to find
a smaller number quickly.
• For example, counting
backward in steps of 2: 10,
8, 6, 4, ...
• We can also skip count
backward to make counting
easier and faster.
Understanding Positive and Negative Numbers

• Positive numbers are


greater than zero and are
used to count things.
• Negative numbers are less
than zero and are used to
represent loss, debt, or
going below zero.

Representing Addition Problems with a Number
Line
• We can use a number line to
represent addition problems
with positive and negative
numbers.
• To add a positive number,
we move forward on the
number line.
• To add a negative number,
we move backward on the
number line.
Interactive Slide

Discussion: How can we use a


number line to solve addition
problems with negative
numbers?
Representing Subtraction Problems with a Number
Line
• We can use a number line to
represent subtraction
problems with positive and
negative numbers.
• To subtract a positive
number, we move backward
on the number line.
• To subtract a negative
number, we move forward
on the number line.
Solving Addition and Subtraction Problems with
Negative Numbers
• When solving addition or
subtraction problems with
negative numbers, we can
use the rules we learned.
• Remember to pay attention
to the signs and their
directions on the number
line.
• Practice solving problems to
become more comfortable
with counting in steps and
working with negative
