Skip Counting Worksheets
Skip counting is multiplication before it has a name. A child who can count confidently in fours has most of the four times table already, and the transition is far easier than learning the table cold.

What to watch for when you grade this sheet
- Reverting to counting by ones partway through a sequence.
- Skip counting forwards fluently but not backwards.
- Losing the pattern when the sequence starts somewhere other than zero.
One thing that helps
Start a sequence at 3 and count in fives. If the child can only do it from zero, they have learned a chant rather than the step.
