Looking for fun skip counting activities? These cards are probably one of my favorites!
I’ve only recently heard about the skip counting method. It intrigues me! However, we’re trying to spend the least amount of time as possible staring at a piece of paper or worksheet.
So I wanted to create a resource that parents could use on the go as a skip counting activity or whatever else they want to use them for!
The number one question is usually, “Why not just use flashcards?”
This is such a valid question and the truth is, you totally can! For our homeschool, we have a huge baggie STUFFED with flashcards! It’s kind of where the idea came from to create skip counting cards too! We love them!
However, if you lose one, you might as well have lost them all. Bummer.
By having access to a digital file, I can print the one we’ve lost, reprint the entire set if they’ve gotten too worn, or even use them digitally on a device!
Actually, I just thought of the digital aspect (ha!), I bet when uploaded to an app like GoodNotes, your kiddos would love to trace the numbers too! I’m going to have to give that a go! 🙂
Do you see? I’m not trying to put the flashcard business out of business… I just love the versatility of creating my own flashcards for skip counting activities!
Here’s a quick list of some of the ways you can use these skip counting cards in your homeschool:
Put the cards in order
Use 10 – 20 cards of your choice and find the missing numbers
Lay out a few cards and ask what’s next
Sort the cards
Jump on the card with the number you say
When I created these, I added them to my Teachers Pay Teachers Homeschool Store. However, since you’re a dedicated blog reader 😉 I like to share every now and again (another reason to subscribe!)
So I am making these available for you in exchange for your email address! If you see the value in having a digital copy of a resource that you can use again and again, click here to share your email with me and I’ll send the digital skip counting cards straight to your inbox!
I’d really love to see the creative things you do with these cards! Consider connecting with me on Instagram and sharing your creativity with me!
