What is Skip Counting?
Skip counting is counting by counting by adding a number each time. So if you are skip counting by 2. You count 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc. Each number goes up by 2 each time. That is how skip counting works. You have a starting number and how many you will count from the number.
Skip counting is a counting skill that starts early and works into multiplication and division.
We are doing skip counting from 1 to 12 with these new mats. Each number has its own page with flowers for people to skip count on.
You can see an example of one of the mats below. It is skip counting by 7 for 12 times. I recommend printing on cardstock and laminating the pages. They will last longer with use over time.

Ways to use the Flower Skip Counting Mat
You are going to see a few ways to use the flower skip counting mats. You will find hands-on activities, using dice, using flashcards and more.
Cover the Skip Counting Flowers Numbers with Bugs
These mats are great for just working on skip counting. You can use bug counters to cover the numbers or put off to the side of the number as you skip counting by the number.
Use Skip Counting Bookmarks with the Skip Counting Flowers
If you are having trouble with the skip counting you can use the skip counting bookmarks to help. They have numbers 1 to 12 on them. You can pull out the bookmark you are working on and then find the numbers.
We covered the skip counting numbers with mini erasers.
Skip Counting and Point to the Correct Flowers
You can have kids just simply point to the skip counting numbers on the skip counting mat and have them skip counting the numbers in order. This is also good for working on memory for skip counting.
Use Multiplication with the Flower Skip Counting Mats
Another activity you can do with these skip counting mats is to work on multiplication. You can grab a 12-sided die and do the math. You roll the die and get a number. Then you multiply the number on the dice for the skip counting mat number. They cover the number on the flower.
So you roll a 5. Then you do the math 5 x 6 = 30. Then you find 30 and cover it. We used clear glass gems to cover the flowers.
Use Multiplication Flashcards with the Flower Skip Counting Mats
If you don’t have a 12 sided die you can always use the multiplication flashcards. I printed the cards 2 pages per page and on color cardstock and put on a ring. They flip through the cards and find the answers on the sheet.
Use Division Flashcards with the Flower Skip Counting Mats
You can also use the skip counting flower mats for division! You use the skip counting by 1 mat. This is one of the reasons that I put a skip counting by 1 mat in the set.
As with did the same to the division flashcards that I did to the multiplication cards. I printed two per page on color cardstock and put them on a ring. They flip through the division cards and then cover the answer on the flower skip counting mat.
Cover the Skip Counting Flowers with Division Flashcards
You can also take the flashcards off the ring and have them cover the flowers with the cards! This is why I printed them two pages on one page.
