Counting in 8s to 96 - PowerPoint

Year 3 students are invited to enhance their number and place value skills by learning to count in multiples of eight up to 96. The lesson's objective is to practice skip counting by eights, which involves adding eight to the previous number in the sequence. To aid understanding, the lesson provides a sequence of numbers starting from zero and progressing in increments of eight. For instance, beginning with 8, the next numbers in the sequence are 16, 24, 32, and so on. Students are challenged to identify the subsequent number in the sequence, with the example given: following 40 comes 48.

Helpful tips are provided to assist students in remembering the eight times table, highlighting that all numbers in this table are even and end with 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8. These numbers are multiples of two and can be halved, then divided by four to simplify calculations. Additionally, students can find the product of eight times a number by doubling the number and then doubling the result twice more. Interactive activities encourage students to fill in missing numbers in a sequence and offer a timed challenge to identify the next number in the counting sequence. To further reinforce their learning, students can engage with an interactive game designed to practice skip counting in eights.
