Activities for Families

Your child has already practiced skip counting by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s between 0 and 20. Start practicing skip counting by any number, starting at any number, going in either direction.

Skip counting up and down helps with all arithmetic operations, as well as place value (when skipping by 5’s or 10’s). The tricky part in skip counting is when the tens digit changes, so focus on that. This is a handy activity to do when you are traveling or have some idle time.
