Teacher Resources
Teaching Notes

Introduce skip counting by 6s as repeated addition, a foundational skill for multiplication. Utilize number charts to help students visualize patterns and relationships as they count forward.

Vocabulary
Skip Counting: Counting numbers by a fixed amount.
Multiples: Numbers made by multiplying.
Common Mistakes
  • Losing count after a few jumps
  • Confusing the pattern with other skip counts (e.g., 5s or 10s)
  • Misidentifying the next number in the sequence
Differentiation
SupportProvide a pre-highlighted number chart or use physical manipulatives (e.g., linking cubes, counters) to represent groups of six and physically 'jump' on a number line.
ChallengeChallenge students to predict the 10th or 12th number in the sequence, connect to multiplication facts for 6s, or find patterns when skip counting by 6s and other numbers simultaneously.
Discussion Questions
  • What patterns do you notice in the numbers when you skip count by 6s?
  • How is skip counting by 6s similar to or different from skip counting by 3s?
  • Where might you use skip counting by 6s in real life?
Extension Activities
  • Use a multiplication chart.
  • Draw groups of six.
  • Practice multiplication facts.
Parent Tip

Count objects in groups of six, like sides on a hexagon or legs on an insect.
