Skip Counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s
Exploring skip counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s to understand the structure of the hundred chart and number patterns.
Key Questions
- Analyze what patterns you notice on a hundred chart when we count by tens.
- Justify when it is more efficient to count by a group rather than by ones.
- Predict what the next number will be if you are skip counting by 5s and the last number was 35.

Planning templates for Mathematics
5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
