Skip counting by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10

Skip counting is part of the Math Curriculum almost everywhere in the world starting in Kindergarten and going up to Year 3. However the amount being skipped, the range of numbers, and whether it includes backward as well as forward skipping varies.

Whatever your syllabus demands, why not extend beyond the limits set and have at your fingertips a wide variety of choices for your students to practice with and be challenged by ?

This resource does just that. You have a choice of :

Skip counting by 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s or 10s
with ranges of numbers

• 1 to100 (sometimes 120) ,
• to 500
• to 1000

with sequences starting from

• zero (for range 1 to 100)
• a multiple of the skipping number
• a random number

This means for example that for Skip counting with 7s, you have 6 choices:

• range 1 to 100 starting at zero or a random number
• range to 500 starting with a multiple of 7
• range to 1000 starting with a multiple of 7 or a random number

… and this repeats for every number to 10.

Skip counting helps students recognize patterns in numbers and develop good mental math skills. It exercises number sense and can be useful when counting objects quickly, in that instead of counting objects individually they can be bundled together in groups which helps to speed up the process.

Multiplication is often introduced through repeated addition and division through repeated subtraction for which skip counting is excellent preparation.

How many Sets are there in total ?
57. The last 3 are Challenge Worksheets where the skipping numbers are mixed up.

How many worksheets are in each set ?
Almost unlimited. At the click of a button all numbers are randomised, so the questions change every time .

Answers are automatically generated.

The Teaching Pages, designed for the Interactive Whiteboard for whole class learning follow the same pattern as the Worksheets, and like the Worksheets the numbers can be randomised at the click of a button which means there are lots of examples you can play with.
The Teaching pages focus on skipping with 2s, 5s and 10s.
