This lesson engages students in using their bodies (i.e., their fingers) as a physical representation to support skip-counting groups of 10. At the same time, students will also unpack this common practice to begin a conversation about body diversity.
The lesson intentionally has variation in structures for participation: whole group, small group, and then whole group again.
This lesson uses a launch–explore–summarize instructional model and is intended to take approximately 120 minutes to complete across two class periods.
