About this printable

This A4 strategy mat scaffolds skip counting practice with labelled sections: choose a step (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12), write a starting number, generate the sequence, notice patterns, list strategy tools and give examples before checking answers.

The sheet is a teacher-friendly visual support for guided or independent practice.
