Skip counting is a multiplication superpower!
In 3rd grade, counting turns into a multiplication tool. Kids skip count by 2s, 3s, 4s and all the way to 12s, and they see that each count is a multiplication fact: 4, 8, 12, 16 = 4 × 4. They also count by tens and hundreds from any number and count on to solve problems. The click moment is when a kid forgets 6 × 7 and quietly skip counts by 6s to find it.
Skip counting is easiest to learn with a beat. These moves pair music with real math.
Play a counting by fours song every morning for a week. On Friday, pause it and have kids sing the next number alone. The tune carries them through, and the 4s facts follow right behind.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).

Why it works: in a well-known study, a few short sessions of a simple number board game measurably boosted young children's number skills (Ramani and Siegler, 2008).
Try it withCounting Groups of 10 ActivityActivitiesOpen it →Play the sevens song while kids color each multiple of 7 on a hundred chart. Ask, "What pattern do you see?" The colored chart becomes a picture kids can recall when the fact is hard.
Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).

Skip counting is the bridge to multiplication. When kids can count by 3s, 6s and 8s quickly, they can find any multiplication fact even when they haven't memorized it yet.
Third graders should skip count by 2s through 10s, and many practice 11s and 12s. They also count by tens and hundreds starting from any number.
Songs are the fastest way, since the beat holds the pattern. Practice for a few minutes at a time, then ask a fact question to connect the count to multiplication.
Not quite, but it's closely related. Skip counting by 5s four times lands on 20, which is the same as 5 × 4. Over time, kids replace counting with memorized facts.
