Skip Counting Memory Work Tool, part 1

Now, here's the tool we created for reviewing our skip counting. This particular one is created for "CC's" Week 2 review of skip counting by three's and fours...



Start with a single sheet of paper.



Fold it in half lengthwise.



Fold the already-folded-in-half paper (lengthwise) once more. Crease the paper well.



Unfold once, so that your original fold is at the top, and the crease from your second fold now shows in the middle.



With the originally-folded edge at the top, use a pair of scissors to make a snip through both layers of paper, from the loose bottom edge(s) all the way up to the crease in the center. Make this snip halfway between the two bottom corners.



Use the scissors to make two equally-spaced snips on either side of the original snip, so that there is a total of five snips (creating two layers of six flaps) along the bottom edge of the paper.



Unfold the entire sheet of paper, so that you now see six flaps along the top and six flaps along the bottom.



Use a ruler to hold down the flaps as you draw two rectangles on the paper, as shown. Make each of the rectangles a different color.



Within each rectangle, write a set of skip-counting numbers, in order. For the top set, write one number on each top flap, and write a number below each of the top flaps. For the bottom set, write one number above each bottom flap, and write one number on each of the bottom flaps.
