Million Number Chart Trails

Learners trace positions on a school notice chart that counts by 500s, 1,000s, and 10,000s.

A school office prints enrolment targets on a chart. One row has a missing number and one skip-count trail has an error.

Million Number Chart Trails illustration

Learners trace positions on a school notice chart that counts by 500s, 1,000s, and 10,000s.

Skip count by 1,000 from 31,285.

  1. Add 1,000 to reach 32,285, then 33,285, 34,285, and 35,285.
  2. For backward counting, subtract the same jump each time.
