About this resource

I Can Count by 4's to 100 or 120 Worksheet Give young mathematicians a chance to gain confidence with skip counting by 4's using an engaging, interactive worksheet. Students highlight the numbers on a 100 or 120 chart that represent counting by 4's - 4, 8, 12, 16, and so on, up to 100 or 120. This visual learning tool reinforces skip counting patterns and lays the foundation for multiplication facts. Educators can implement it as individual practice, with a whole class on a projector, or in small groups. When students repeatedly add equal groups of 4, they build the concept that multiplication is repeated addition. Guide them to see 4 x 5 as 4 groups of 5, which they can also reach by skip counting by 4's. Use this versatile resource creatively to build number sense!

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Skip count by 4's from 4 up to 100
Skip count by 4's from 4 up to 120
Recognize the numeric pattern created when every fourth number is marked on a hundred/120 chart

Teaching tips

Use the 100-chart pages for students still building the skip-counting sequence, and the 120-chart pages once they are ready to extend past 100
Spread the four pages of the same chart size across different sessions or small-group rotations for repeated highlighting practice
Have students use a different highlighter colour on each repeated attempt so multiple tries on the same chart size can be compared side by side

Skills covered

Skip-counting fluency by 4's — students highlight each number in the count-by-4 sequence directly on a 100-chart or 120-chart grid.
Number-pattern recognition — students visually trace the repeating pattern that emerges once every fourth number is marked across the chart.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

What's different between the two chart versions in the file?

One set of four pages uses a 100-number chart and the other set uses a 120-number chart, so a class can extend the same skip-counting-by-4's practice past 100 once students are ready.
