Counting In Steps Of 2s, 3s, 5s And 10s — Interactive Lesson & Activities (Year 2)

Skip counting is the shortcut that makes times tables click later on. This counting in steps of 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s lesson, built as an interactive digital resource, gives Year 2 learners repeated practice spotting and continuing number patterns.

Learners count forwards and backwards in steps of 2, 3, 5 and 10, filling number sequences and solving pattern puzzles, with instant self-marking feedback throughout.
