Dot Marker Counting and Skip Counting Printables for Primary Students (Early Multiplication)

Help your primary students practice counting and skip counting as they develop their number sense and numerical fluency.

These fun printables offer excellent fine motor practice for junior students.

They could also be implemented as a precursor to multiplication and times table learning. They help students see patterns and relationships when skip counting.

How to Use:

Provide your students with dot markers (bingo markers).

The student begins at zero and places dots in each circle as they count or skip count aloud.

Extensions: Encourage your students to look for any numerical patterns:

For example, "What is the first number on each worksheet?" "What do you observe about the last number? How is it related to the first number?" "Are there patterns when you look at odd and even numbers?" "What do you see in the ones spot when you count by 5s?" "If you look at the same place on each page, do you see a pattern?"

Grades to Use With:

These pages could be used by students in preschool to grade 3 depending on how you implement them. In preschool, you may just use the counting by one worksheet to see if students know number order from 1-10. In kindergarten, students could try counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s. In grade 1 and 2, students can work on counting by 3s, 4s, and more. And in grade three, you can use each sheet as an introduction to each times table, one at a time.
