Material

High Frequency Beginning Letters

Have 10 students line up either on the left side of the mat (one student at each row) or the bottom of the mat (one student at each column). Direct students to jump/hop/step on each word until they reach a word starting with the letter _____. The student should jump on that word 5x while saying it. The student continues traveling in like manner until reaching the end of the row/column. The next 10 students then line up in similar fashion. Choose a different starting letter for them to identify. The high frequency letters are “a” (11x), “f” (6x), “g” (7x), “h” (9x), “i” (7x), “m” (6x), and “s” (8x). There are worksheets for this activity.

Beginning Letters

Can you find one word that starts with the letter _____? Jump to that word and say it 3-5x while jumping on it. As the student gets to a word, everyone says it 3-5x while jumping or clapping 3-5x.

Can you find all of the words that start with the letter _____? Have a different student jump to each word (one at a time) and stand on it. As a student gets to a word, the class says it 3-5x while jumping/clapping 3-5x.

Utilize the Waiting Time

Hang banners in locations where students will wait for PE, art, music or lunch. Students can study the patterns as they wait. Skip counting can be used as a filler activity when there are a few minutes to spare such as waiting for the art or computer teacher to call the students into the class. It only takes ten seconds to recite the multiples!

Find the Patterns

Ask your students to search for the math patterns on the skip counting banners. For example, do they see that each multiple of nine has digits that add to nine? Or that by reversing these same digits results in another multiple of 9? The patterns are hiding—can they find some more?

Skip Counting Hide and Seek

Hang the skip counting banners in clever spots around your school or classroom. Create clues about the location of the banners. Have your students search for the banner and when they find it, have them skip count by the number on the banner.

Touching Numbers

Children increase their understanding of multiples when they are able to physically touch each multiple as they are counting. Have a student touch each multiple while saying the number out loud. To include the whole class, have the other students surround the banner and recite the numbers as the student touches them. You could also have the other students do an active math movement! (Movement ideas can be found in the Math & Movement Training Manual for Elementary Schools.)

Chanting the Multiples

Display the banner and encourage your class to recite the multiples while engaging in any form of physical activity. Adding some form of cross-body movement while reciting the multiples will speed up student’s retention. Let students take turns coming up with movements to do while reciting the multiples. (Movement ideas can be found in the Math & Movement Training Manual for Elementary Schools.)

When students become familiar with the multiples, they will want to challenge themselves by turning their back to the banner while the class is counting. The students who do not know the multiples will be more engaged when they can see the skip counting numbers on the banner and thus be able to count along with the class.

Spell and Say

Give students a word to jump to. Student jumps to that word, spells the word, and then says the letter sounds. For example, student jumps to the word “sit.” The student says the word, says each of the letter sounds, and then says the word again. This helps with letter recognition and letter sounds.
