About this resource
Description
Skip counting by threes is a big step toward knowing the multiplication facts for 3. When students can count 3, 6, 9, 12 without stopping, they can find the total of equal groups quickly and check their work with confidence. This skip counting 3s carousel worksheet turns that practice into a ride around a bright carousel, so third graders get plenty of counting by threes in a format that feels like play.
About This Worksheet
Students first fill in the empty seats around a twelve-seat carousel, counting up by threes from 3 all the way to 36. Next, they complete two rows that start off the multiples of three: one row counts up by three from 4, and the other counts backward by three from 50. Last, they solve two short carousel stories about ride tickets and bench riders, writing each answer in a box. This 3rd grade skip counting worksheet works well for morning work, a math center, homework, or a quick check after a lesson on equal groups.
What’s Included
- One page of skip counting by 3s practice for 3rd grade
- A twelve-seat carousel to complete by counting up by threes
- Two number rows that count forward and backward by three from new starting numbers
- Two carousel word problems with answer boxes
- A complete answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, counting by threes builds fluency with the 3s multiplication facts, which students use again and again in third grade. Second, the rows that start at 4 and count back from 50 show children that the pattern works from any number, not just the multiples they memorized. Third, the carousel stories connect skip counting to equal groups in the real world, so students see why the skill matters.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before students begin, count around the room by threes together, adding three with each clap. After the skip counting 3s carousel worksheet is finished, ask children to explain how they found a missing seat, or have them make their own carousel that counts by threes from a starting number they choose. Partners can also quiz each other by naming a number and asking what comes three before and three after.
