Million Chart Skip-Count Trails

Learners read a school library stock chart counted in 5,000s and 10,000s.

Skip count and locate large numbers on a structured chart.

The library is updating its stock chart, so learners follow 5,000 and 10,000 jumps to check the catalogue totals.

Million Chart Skip-Count Trails illustration

Learners read a school library stock chart counted in 5,000s and 10,000s.

Start at 235,000 and count forward by 10,000 three times.

  1. Move one equal chart step for each 10,000 jump: 245,000, then 255,000.
  2. Make the third equal jump to 265,000, so the trail ends at 265,000.
