Counts of Crayons

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is structured around the theme of skip counting by fours, with groups of crayons illustrating the concept. Each group consists of four crayons, with certain groups labeled with a number to show where they fall in the counting sequence. Empty boxes are provided next to groups without labels, where students must write the appropriate number that completes the skip counting sequence. The visual representation of crayons in groups of four is designed to assist students in understanding the concept of skip counting by this interval.

The worksheet’s goal is to teach students to count by fours, enhancing their understanding of numerical patterns and preparing them for multiplication. It also helps to develop their ability to recognize and continue sequences, which is a fundamental aspect of mathematical thinking. By associating numbers with a visual quantity, like crayons, the worksheet makes abstract concepts more concrete. Completing this worksheet boosts students’ confidence in their counting abilities and their overall number sense.
