Skip Counting with Penguin Pals - Freebie!

We've been practicing skip counting out loud all year long during our calendar time, but my kiddos are having trouble applying it on paper!
I'm bridging the process with this game.

Just click on the link above to get the file. ...
and be a pal and leave me a comment!

  1. That's a great activity! It reminds me of the kinds of problems I've seen on our state test. But this would be fun! THanks for sharing!

    1. Chrissy,
      My school has been trying very hard to beef up our activities to match the Common Core and PARCC assessments. Let me know what you think after you've tried this with your kids.

    2. We are doing the same. Good 'ol NJ! Our Model Curriculum is rough. We are analyzing our data and forming groups to target instruction. My group is the skip counting group. This is a great way for the students to problem solve by not having to come up with the missing number. The answer choices are there for them. They just need to identify under which category to place the pattern card. Thank you so much for this freebie. Last time, we played "Hop to It" and they really enjoyed it. You rock!

  2. My kiddos do well with the standard skip counting but have trouble with the number not ending in in 5 or 0. Example skip count by 10's starting at 23. This is a tested skill. Would love a packet with variable numbers.

    1. Maggie,
      Look under the "Labels" section on the right sidebar of my blog and click on "Skip counting." I've posted several games earlier that might help you.

  6. Mary, It tells me access is denied so I can't download it. Any ideas? Maybe you were just doing it for a limited time free or something. Looks like a great product! Hopefully I can get it figured out. Thanks!

  8. These are great, thanks. I find that I need to translate them into Spanish b/c I teach in a dual immersion school. If you're interested in me doing that, let's get in touch. Then you could post those as well. Thanks! maestralugo@gmail.com
