Make your Masterpiece - Skip Counting Print and Go

Skip Counting Print and Go is finally done. I'm doing a happy dance. I started this product when I was teaching skip counting to my second graders back in like April. It was a perfect way to start getting them ready for multiplication. Now it is finally done. TPT Sellers Challenge was the perfect motivation to finish it this week. Now I'm linking up with these wonderful teachers for week 3.

Here is my masterpiece. Sweet Skip Counting Print and Go. I started this packet because I was teaching skip counting and I had just finished my Graphing Print and Go and it was really popular, so I thought I would try another print and go. I love this creation because it is really easily adapted to all levels. I started with a hundreds charts. I made two kinds of hundreds charts one that is already colored in and one that the students need to color in. 

I had my students color them in. Then I had them keep them in their folders for reference. The next thing in my print and go packet is an activity. The students can either use their chats, the cards provided at the end, individually or in a group. My students loved going around the group skip counting so I made this to go along with that. I had them count around the circle and write as they count.  There are two versions of  this activity as well. One is with some of the numbers filled in to help the students check as they go, and the other one is blank. The third activity is finishing the skip counting pattern. I gave them how much they are skip counting by and two numbers in the line but they aren't necessarily the first numbers, or two numbers next two each other. This can require students to skip count backwards, or forewords. This can be a real challenge for some students but it's good practice. 
                   

The last two activities are my favorite and my students favorites too. The first one is called "What's the Rule?". It gives students the first two numbers and they have to figure out the rule and finish the number line. The last activity is Spin and Count. The students spin a paper clip on the tip of their pencil. The number is lands on is the number they start with, then they skip count until they reach the end of the line.

The last thing I included is cards that have the numbers on them. I mentioned them above to use with the first activity. My first grade students love putting the cards in order. It's a great way to have them practice their skip counting and have fun at the same time.
