Lesson Note
Understanding Skip-Counting by 4
Skip-counting by 4 is counting forward in steps of 4. It helps you recognise patterns in numbers and is a foundation for multiplication by 4.
- Example: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 …
- Notice the difference between consecutive numbers is always 4.
- Try counting objects in groups of 4 to see this in real life.
Tip: Practice aloud and try writing your own sequences. This helps independent learning and memory.
