Part 1: Spot the Pattern

WALT: We Are Learning To skip count forwards and backwards using number patterns.

Success criteria: I can identify the counting pattern, continue a sequence and explain how I know.

Part 2: Visual Skip Counting

WALT: We Are Learning To show skip counting visually on a number line and in equal groups.

Success criteria: I can show equal jumps, label the numbers reached and use multiplication to check my answer.

Part 3: Think, Explain and Extend

WALT: We Are Learning To solve skip-counting problems and explain our strategies.

Success criteria: I can find a missing number, explain the rule and apply skip counting to a problem.

Differentiation: Use counters, a hundreds chart or a marked number line. Start at 0 or a friendly multiple, then build towards starting at an unusual number. Advanced learners can combine two rules, such as adding 4 then adding 8.
