🔢 Part 1: Skip Counting Patterns

1. Complete these skip counting patterns:

Counting by 2s: 2, 4, 6, _____, _____, 12, _____, 16

Counting by 5s: 5, 10, _____, 20, _____, 30, _____, 40

Counting by 10s: 10, 20, 30, _____, _____, 60, _____, 80

2. Start from these numbers and count by 3s:

Starting at 15: 15, _____, _____, _____, _____, 30

Starting at 24: 24, _____, _____, _____, _____, 39

3. Circle the numbers that belong in the pattern:

Counting by 5s from 25:

30

32

35

38

40

45

➕ Part 2: Skip Counting to Add

4. Use skip counting to solve these addition problems:

Example: 230 + 340 = Count by 100s: 230, 330, 430, 530, 570

a) 150 + 250 = _____

Count by 100s: 150, _____, _____, _____, _____

b) 320 + 180 = _____

Count by 10s: 320, 330, 340, _____, _____, _____, _____, _____, _____, _____

5. Which skip counting method would be fastest?

For 450 + 350:

Count by 1s

Count by 10s

Count by 100s

🧮 Part 3: 3-Digit and 4-Digit Addition

6. Solve these addition problems using skip counting strategies:

a) 1,250 + 1,340 = _____

b) 675 + 425 = _____

c) 2,150 + 850 = _____

7. Fill in the missing numbers in these addition patterns:

200 + 300 = 500

220 + 320 = _____

240 + 340 = _____

_____ + _____ = 620

280 + 380 = _____

🎨 Part 4: Pattern Design Challenge

8. Create your own skip counting pattern starting from 125:

Count by _____s: 125, _____, _____, _____, _____, _____, _____

9. Design a number pattern using addition:

Start with any 3-digit number and add the same amount each time:

Starting number: _____ + _____ = _____

_____ + _____ = _____

_____ + _____ = _____

_____ + _____ = _____

10. Draw your pattern design in the box below (like a kete pattern):
11. Explain how skip counting helps with adding large numbers:

🌟 Part 5: Challenge Questions

12. Match the addition problem with the best skip counting strategy:
1. 1,500 + 2,300
2. 245 + 135
3. 670 + 280
A. Count by 10s
B. Count by 5s
C. Count by 100s
13. True or False:

Skip counting by 10s is always faster than counting by 5s

You can use skip counting to add any numbers

Patterns help us predict what comes next

1,000 + 2,000 = 3,000

14. Create a word problem that uses skip counting to solve:
