  2. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    A bijection with the sums to n is to replace 1 with 0 and 2 with 11. The number of binary strings of length n without an even number of consecutive 0 s or 1 s is 2F n. For example, out of the 16 binary strings of length 4, there are 2F 4 = 6 without an even number of consecutive 0 s or 1 s—they are 0001, 0111, 0101, 1000, 1010, 1110. There is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skip_counting

    Skip counting is a mathematics technique taught as a kind of multiplication in reform mathematics textbooks such as TERC. In older textbooks, this technique is called counting by twos (threes, fours, etc.). In skip counting by twos, a person can count to 10 by only naming every other even number: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. [1]

    The number of vertex-edge incidences in the graph may be counted in two different ways: by summing the degrees of the vertices, or by counting two incidences for every edge. Therefore ∑ v d ( v ) = 2 e {\displaystyle \sum _{v}d(v)=2e} where e {\displaystyle e} is the number of edges.

  5. Tally marks - Wikipedia

    The number shown is 82. Tally marks, also called hash marks, are a form of numeral used for counting. They can be thought of as a unary numeral system. They are most useful in counting or tallying ongoing results, such as the score in a game or sport, as no intermediate results need to be erased or discarded. However, because of the length of ...

    The horizontal axis is the number of the person. The vertical axis (top to bottom) is time (the number of cycle). A live person is drawn as green, a dead one is drawn as black. [1] In the particular counting-out game that gives rise to the Josephus problem, a number of people are standing in a circle waiting to be executed. Counting begins at a ...

    Number blocks, which can be used for counting. Counting is the process of determining the number of elements of a finite set of objects; that is, determining the size of a set. . The traditional way of counting consists of continually increasing a (mental or spoken) counter by a unit for every element of the set, in some order, while marking (or displacing) those elements to avoid visiting the ...

    Counting from 1 to 20 in Chisanbop. Each finger has a value of one, while the thumb has a value of five. Therefore each hand can represent the digits 0-9, rather than the usual 0-5. The two hands combine to represent two digits; the right hand is the ones place, and the left hand is the tens place.

    Finger-counting, also known as dactylonomy, is the act of counting using one's fingers. There are multiple different systems used across time and between cultures, though many of these have seen a decline in use because of the spread of Arabic numerals .
