Hi Everyone!
I hope you are all well and are enjoying working with your new Grade and new teams. Now that all the ‘Getting to Know You’ activities, setting up classroom protocols and dreaded assessment tasks are out of the way, its time to get stuck into some TEACHING!!! So today, I’m going to hook you up with some skip counting lesson ideas! 

I wanted to share with you a few really fun and engaging lesson ideas that you may like to incorporate into your upcoming planners. Because lets face it – it’s hard work coming up with authentic lessons and activities that will keep your students motivated.

Anyone that knows me personally (or has taught next door to me :P) will know how much I just love to incorporate lots of music, singing and interaction into my lessons. Most of the time, I will start off my lessons with a little song or clip to get the kids into the topic.

Here are a few fantastic clips that I use regularly at the beginning of my skip counting lessons. You can find them on Youtube – or if you don’t have access to Youtube at school, you can always use Keepvid to download the clip at home and save it to your computer as a .mp4 clip.
