Counting to 100

Andrew came to me this afternoon and proudly told me that he could easily count to 100. So I asked him to do so and sat on the edge of my seat waiting...

One
Two
Skip a few
Ninety Nine
One Hundred

I asked him where he learned that and can you guess what he told me... Miss Jowett!!! Is that Australian Maths????

So, I had to email his teacher, Miss Jowett and this is her response:


"Oh no! That is actually so funny! I have heard a lot of them saying it lately and was thinking how do they all remember it, it was such a throw away line at the end of our maths lesson. They are just like little sponges! Will have to fill them in on the numbers in between.. at least they now have an idea on what the word 'few' means. (kinda)
