Get After It

Worksheet Description

This worksheet displays a 100s chart and instructs students to interact with it through a series of counting exercises. Students are directed to count by fours and shade each corresponding number in yellow, then count by threes and shade each number in blue, outlining any number that is already shaded in yellow. After completing the shading, students are prompted to reflect on and write down what they notice about the patterns they’ve created. The worksheet encourages not only the practice of counting by multiples but also the observation of overlapping patterns within the chart.

The worksheet is intended to teach students about numerical patterns and the concept of multiples. By counting by fours and threes and using different colors to mark these numbers, students can visually see the frequency and spacing of multiples on the chart. This exercise helps them to recognize and understand the concept of skip counting and how different sets of multiples intersect. It also fosters critical thinking by asking students to observe and describe the resulting patterns, thereby deepening their comprehension of number relationships.
