Chapter 2.1

Counting forward and backward


What You'll Learn

Recognize and extend number sequences counting forward from 1 to 10
Identify and complete number patterns counting backward from 10 to 1
Apply forward and backward counting strategies to fill in missing numbers
Build number sense by understanding the order and relationships between numbers

What You'll Practice

1

Counting forward and filling in the next number in a sequence

2

Counting backward and identifying the previous number

3

Completing number sequences going both forward and backward

Why This Matters

Counting forward and backward builds the foundation for all future math skills. You'll use these number patterns every day for addition, subtraction, telling time, and understanding how numbers work together in real life.
