Skip Counting by Threes to Sixty

Scratch Garden

A high-energy, animated musical video that teaches students how to skip count by threes. Set against a backdrop of outer space, a dog character pilots a rocket ship that accelerates as the counting progresses. The video uses a catchy song to reinforce the pattern of multiples of three, starting with a slow introduction and gradually increasing in speed and range. The content focuses on the mathematical skill of skip counting, which serves as a foundational concept for understanding multiplication and division. It breaks the learning process into three distinct stages: first counting slowly to 15, then increasing the range to 30, and finally challenging students to count all the way to 60. Visual numbers appear on screen synchronized with the audio to support dual coding and memory retention. This video is an excellent classroom resource for introducing or reviewing multiplication tables for the number 3. Its repetitive structure allows for choral response, making it perfect for whole-group instruction or warm-up activities. The engaging animation and musical rhythm help students memorize the number sequence through pattern recognition and auditory cues, turning rote memorization into a fun, interactive experience.
