Skip Counting and Multiplication Differentiated Worksheets

This worksheet set contains three levelled worksheets covering the same skill (multiplying using repeated addition), at varying levels of complexity. Each worksheet is a single page.

Students should be assigned the worksheet that best meets them at their present level or ability using skip counting to solve multiplication expressions. The one-star worksheet is scaffolded to include more built-in support and less complex expressions, using only multiples (or increases) of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10. The two-star worksheet includes more variety and complexity in the problems, including factors 2-10. The three-star worksheet has more complex expressions and multiple-step questions.

An answer key is included with your download to make marking fast and easy! 

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding  

To provide a challenge, start a student with the level 3 worksheet. Additionally, the resource can also be edited to include even larger numbers and more complex expressions.

To support students, consider starting with the level 1 worksheet and provide assistance when needed with resources such as a multiplication chart. Demonstrate how to use the resources to help them with the worksheet. Then, let the student attempt level 2 with less assistance.
