Counting in 3s
Use the 100 array (or even make your own 100 grid).
Colour the numbers showing Counting in 3s.
Practise counting forwards and backwards. Try counting with a partner or group using our Count Around Game from class.
You can use Splat Squares to count in 3s on a 100 array in Teaching Tables on Primary Games (Interactive Resources). You can also use the Table Mountain game on this website.
If you can count in 3s, you have all of your answers for the 3 times tables!
