Paw Patterns - Skip Counting
Students will investigate number sequences increasing by twos, threes, fives and tens.
Learning goals
- We are learning to count collections of items (e.g. coins) and skip count by 5s or 10s to record how many in the collection.
- We are learning to count in ones, twos, fives and tens, to and from 100.
- We are learning to recall addition facts to 20 and apply to related subtraction facts using a range of strategies.
- We are learning to recall multiplication facts for twos and apply to related division facts using doubling and halving.
- We are learning to explore number sequences by twos, threes, fives and tens from any starting point.

Differentiation
Modifications
Begin with one set of numbers. e.g. skip counting by five Add another set (e.g. skip counting by two) only when students are ready to progress. This will require students to not only place the numbers in the correct order, but to sort the two number patterns. There are four sets in total for students to add.
Extensions
Students can write number patterns using 3-digit numbers. Keep in mind that skip counting by three is typically introduced in Year 2. Rather than introducing this in Year 1, you may wish to extend students by asking them to write additional number patterns extending into 3-digits. Alternatively, ask the Year 2 teachers how they'd prefer you to extend the students who require an additional challenge.
