Use repeated addition to count by 6

Summary: Students will sit at their desks or stand in a space in the room, (can sit or stand wherever they or you like). Counting by 4’s students will start counting in no particular order. Students can say a maximum of 3 numbers in a row or just say one number e.g. 4,8,12 or 4. Someone else in the room will pick up from where they finished counting and say the next number or numbers. Students will do this in no particular order, they can say the number pattern at any stage. However, they can not speak at the same time as another student within the room. If two students say the number 12 at the same time you need to start again at number 4. See how high you can get as a class before students say the same number. 

Summary: Students use number lines to ‘set a rule’, e.g. “start from zero and count by 2”. Then they must click each number along the number line that matches the rule. They can set multiple rules, including starting from 0, 1 or 2, and count upwards by any number between 2 and 10. Once they’ve set up their rules and clicked the correct numbers, they can play their song.

Summary: Students can select their level of difficulty and complete the number sequences. Includes:
Count on and back by 2
Count on and back by 5
Count on and back by 10
Count on and back by 2, 5 and 10
Count on and back by 3, 4 and 6
Count on and back by multiples of 10
Count on and back by multiples of 100
Count on and back by steps of up to 12
Count on and back by steps of up to 50
Count on and back by steps of up to 100
Count on and back by 2, 5 and 10 (including negative numbers)
Count on and back by 3, 4 and 6 (including negative numbers)
Count on and back by multiples of 10 (including negative numbers)
Count on and back by steps of up to 12 (including negative numbers)
Count on and back by steps of up to 50 (including negative numbers)
Count on and back by steps of up to 100 (including negative numbers)

Summary: The teacher will start by writing a skip counting pattern on the board. The teacher can start from any number. E.g. 18, 24, 30. In the back of their maths books students will continue the skip counting pattern within a 1 minute time frame (or longer can set your own time). Once the timer runs out yell out “stop”. Students will all stand up. Begin counting from the end of your pattern on the board. Once students have counted their last number written they will sit down. The last person standing wins. 

Summary: All students select a number less than 20. Use the calculator to count upwards by that number until they reach the target number set by the teacher (100 for junior students, 1000 for senior students).
