Skip Counting by 8s Song by [ Ссылка ].

This skip counting by 8s song gives children an introduction to skip counting and to their 8 times tables. Skip counting helps kids come to grips with the concept of multiplication and kickstarts the process of memorization of, in this case, their 8 times tables.

This counting video is suitable for children of all ages but is especially aimed at children in in third grade through fifth grade. The beat starts slowly as we count by 8 to 80 and it then gets faster and faster. This is done to increase children's number familiarity and help them develop an instant recall of the numbers involved in skip counting by eight.

If your child is having difficulty skip counting by 8, remind them of the similarity between counting by 4s. If they know how to count by 4 then they have already covered off the early numbers in the counting by 8s sequence (the 8s are simply every other number of when you count by 4s). So 8, 16, 24, 32 and 40 (and possibly 48) should all be simple!
The images presented change with each verse of the song:

- The first time we count by 8 to 80 and each numeral comes on screen as it is said.
- Next, the written words for each number appear, ie eight, sixteen, twenty-four, thirty-two, forty, forty-eight, fifty-six, sixty-four seventy-two and eighty. Some children struggle with numbers as words so the sooner they become familiar with the words and their spelling, the better -- especially given that many mathematical problems are presented as number sentences.
- Over the next three verses the words appear again in a different format and then the numerals in two different formats.
- For the final verse, the music reverts to its original slower speed and the numerals are displayed as in the first verse.

We also hope you and your child have fun trying to keep up with the music as it gets faster and faster! Above all, be patient and enthusiastic and remember that mathematics should actually be fun!
