Skip Counting to Multiply
Let's learn how to skip count! Then let's use that knowledge to multiply.
We love skipping while we skip count. Here's a video where we skip count by 10 while skipping.
And here is our 6 year old skip counting by 5 while skipping.
Here is how we set up our table for today's activity.
Skip Counting by 3
We wrote out all the numbers we run into from 3 to 30 when we count by 3. We did this in crayons because it makes it more fun.
Here is a video we made of our song we sing when counting by 3.
Multiplying by 3
We use our sandpaper numbers to make these problems big and easy to read. On one side we have the number 3, on the other side we have a stack of other numbers to multiply by 3. We also have a stack of blank cards and a colorful crayon to write our answers. Broken popsicle sticks make our × and = signs.
Other Numbers
