Skip Counting by 10 – Year 1

Develop fluent skip counting by 10 with a structured Year 1 unit that combines explicit teaching, hands-on practice, games, independent work and assessment. Students begin with groups of ten and the familiar 0–120 sequence, then extend the pattern from other starting numbers and count backwards by 10.

The editable 23-slide PowerPoint lesson introduces each idea in manageable steps and includes guided answers. The editable 22-slide quiz contains ten alternating question-and-answer pairs in true/false, short-answer and four-option multiple-choice formats. A 26-page printable unit plan PDF brings together the display, activities, game, six worksheets, two-page assessment, nine red answer pages and five-level rubric.
