What is Skip Counting?
Skip counting is working on adding the same number over and over. You have a pattern of adding or counting.
So if you skip counting by 3s, you have a pattern like, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and so forth. These patterns can be repeated for many numbers.
Most often you skip count at least 12 times but you can skip counting more.

Preparing Skip Counting Puzzles & Puzzle Mat
You are going to see how I prepare the skip counting puzzles.
Laminate the Kid Skip Counting Puzzle First
I always laminate the puzzles. This helps them last longer. I like to laminate them before cutting them out.
Cut Out the Kid Skip Counting Puzzles
Then I cut out the puzzles. I know that people have different options about how to do this. So do what is best for you.
Preparing the Skip Counting Puzzle Mat
Another part of preparing the puzzles is the puzzle mat. This is a printable mat that you can use to help build the puzzles on. It has the space for the 10 pieces.
I like to laminate the mat and then put wall putty on it. This gives something for the puzzles to stick on.
