Hey! I came by jumping on stones.
Do you say the stone's numbers in which 
jumped on?
Answer: 9 7 5 3 1
Then can you say in which stone's numbers

Learn
Skip counting by 2's forward.
Using the number line, complete the following.
1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21
Skip counting by 3's forward.
Using the above number line, complete the following.
1 4 7 10 13 16 19
Skip counting by 2's backward.
Using the above number line, complete the following.
20 18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2
Skip counting by 3's backward.
Using the above number line, complete the following.
20 17 14 11 8 5 2
Practice
Complete the table by skip counting 2's.
Complete the table by skip counting 3's.
Activity
• Divide the class into teams based on the strength.
• Give monthly calendar to each team.
• Provide any two different colour bindhis to denote 2's, 3's. Ex: 2's – 
colour, 3's – 
colour.
• If the team assigned with 2's skip count forward then they should place the 
coloured bindhis starting from 2 in the calendar.
• Similarly the team assigned with 3's skip count forward should place the 
coloured bindhis starting from 3 in the calendar.
• The teams can interchange the above skip counts to continue the activity.
Think like a Mathematician
Write the missing numbers.
• 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20.
• 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30.
Observe the patterns in the above series. Can you guess the rule used in it?
Pleasure time
Do the skip counting by 2's , 3's starting from 2 and 3 respectively in the given table. Shade the number with 
for 2's and 
for 3's.
Have you shaded any numbers more than one colour? What are they? Write them in the given boxes.
