We took our Discovery test this week.  I have two friends that are still struggling with the skip counting by 5s and 10s.  I think I have tried everything including standing on my head to get them understand the concept.  So I decided to make a unit just for them.  It's called The Counting Monster and I am so hopeful it will help them finally understand that 10 more than 36 is 46.  My fingers are crossed.  I figured it would be a fun review for the whole class, since this is the week before Spring Vacation!

It has Anchor Charts, which I LOVE!
Lots of Games, which the kids LOVE!

Love your Countinng Monster unit. Happy that it is aligned to CCSS. Skip counting can be very hard for some of the kids. This will be great!
Thanks,

In Kindergarten, we skip count by 10's to 100. Using music really helps them remember. If you can use YouTube in your classroom, there are some great skip counting videos!

Skip counting has been a real "monster" for my kiddos. They are having a tough time with the concept this year. Your "Counting Monsters" file looks really good! I found your lovely blog through Zoom Zoom's newish primary grade blogger list.
