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. You might do something different and that is okay.
Laminate the Easter Skip Counting by Puzzle First
I always print on white cardstock and laminate the puzzles. This helps them last longer. I like to laminate them before cutting them out. Everyone has their own way but this is how I do it.
Cut Out the Easter 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. I use scissors a lot so the laminating does not peel off.
After I have them cut out I use elastics to keep all 10 pieces together. There are 12 different skip counting puzzles for kids to use.
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. I have one mat prepared and just use it over and over.
I have been using the same mat for YEARS now. The putty just needs to be move around very now and then and still works just fine.

You will see a few ways that we use the puzzles. Just you can use them to help the needs of the child you are helping.
Setting up a Skip Counting Center
You can use these in math learning centers. They are great for building skip counting skills or reviewing as well.
You can give them a puzzle mat to build the puzzle on, the puzzle they are learning. And if they need extra help you can use the skip counting bookmarks. The bookmarks have skip counting at least 12 times. So that works great for the puzzles.
Putting the Skip Counting Puzzle on the Mat
You can see here how easy it is to put the puzzle together on the mat. The nice part is that the pieces stick to the mat. So it helps keep the puzzle in order while doing it.
After you have the puzzle done you can skip count forwards and backwards. That is a great review after you finish the puzzle.
You can also take a piece of the puzzle off and have them tell you the missing number.
Mixed up Skip Counting Puzzle Center
Another fun ideas is to put the puzzle on the mat all mixed up. Then you let them fix the puzzle and put it in the correct order.
You can see an example below of a mixed up puzzle
Skip Counting can be loads of fun and kids can enjoy it. And puzzles can help.
