Skip Counting Teacher Resources

Help young mathematicians take the next step toward fluent addition with a simple skip counting exercise. 

Students practice the skill of skip counting. In this early math lesson, students try counting at different rates, beinning at one and progressing to the number ten. Students create a number grid with Crayola Crayons.

Practice counting in patterns and skip counting by 1, 5, and 10. Once the patterns have been taught, teams of 5 or 6 learners -- holding hands in circles -- skip count each time they collectively bounce a balloon up into the air. Early...

Here is an excellent skip counting activity. Learners use a number line to skip count from 0 to 117, then write numbers to skip count by 3 from 3 to 120. A website reference for additional resources is given.

Drawing pictures to solve math problems is not only a good problem solving strategy, it's also mathematical modeling. First graders read six basic word problems that have them skip count by twos to find the answer. They draw pictures in...

In this activity, 100 Chart-Math Helper-Skip Counting or Multiples, learners utilize the chart as an aid in counting. This is a resource or manipulative that can be used by students, and is helpful in many different math activities such...

Students skip count by 3's on paper and using the calculator check their figures. They sing the song "2, 4, 6, 8 who do you appreciate?" Ask what number would come next? Students chorally chant skip counting by 3s. Ask students, "What...

Your youngest mathematicians skip count by 2's, 5's, and 10's as they sing along to a Hap Palmer song that helps them remember the patterns. Students practice in whole group and then individually with the worksheet provided, using the...

Here is another excellent skip counting instructional activity. Youngsters use a number line and circle numbers as they skip count by 4 to 116, then write numbers to count by 4 from 4 to 120.

In this skip counting worksheet, learners use a number line to skip count by 5, circling the numbers and counting to 115, then writing the numbers to count by 5 from 5 to 120. A website reference for additional resources is given.

In this skip counting worksheet, students solve 10 problems that require them to skip count as indicated in the instructions for each problem set. Students fill in 9 blanks in each set. The range of numbers on this worksheet is 1-102.

In this skip counting worksheet, students solve 5 problems that require them to skip count as indicated in the instructions for each problem set. Students fill in 9 blanks in each set. The range of numbers on this worksheet is 1-100.

Skip counting builds number sense. Have your special needs class skip count by 5s. They count along the 5s train, fill in the missing numbers, then fill in a train completely. Great scaffolding!

Skip counting builds number sense and prepares learners for multiplication. Intended for use with Autistic children, but appropriate for anyone, this worksheet provides a way to practice counting by 2s. There are 6 trains, the child...

Young mathematicians hop, skip, and jump their way to a deeper number sense with the help of these printable handouts.

Counting by 10s if fun. Assist your Autistic or special needs pupils by building strong number sense. They will count by 10s, fill in the missing 10s, then complete a 10s train all on their own. This is a well scaffolded worksheet,...

Elementary schoolers count and order objects using numbers 1-300. They bring recyclable items from home. Young scholars group the items, skip count by 2's, 3's, and 5's, and arrange the items on a number line. Recyclable plastic bags are...

There are 6 different number sequences for learners to complete. Each contains missing number. They skip count by hundreds to determine which number will best fill in the blank. 

In this skip counting worksheet, students fill in the numbers to complete a pattern of skip counting by 5. Students begin with the number 5 and write the numbers as they skip count to 200.

Budding mathematicians explore the concept of skip counting. They practice skip counting as they use it to determine the number of wheels that come to school at 3 different times throughout the day. They also create a data graph to show...

Help learners improve multiplication skills by skip counting and creating their own multiplication word problems. They will begin by practicing skip counting and then illustrate word problems using a software program. Pixie is a software...

Young mathematicians study the relationship between skip counting and multiplication. They build on skip counting skills and examine arrays while studying multiplication. Resources are provided.

Help your charges solve a variety of fraction and skip counting problems using a problem solving process. As a class they work through a fraction problem step-by-step, and discuss a real-life connection to the problem. Students then play...
