Skip-Count Trail: Skip Counting Game for Grades 2‑4
Fill the missing stone, or find the broken one, to open each trail gate.
Hike a mountain trail of stepping stones. Each gate shows a number pattern: fill in the missing stone or tap the one stone that breaks the pattern. Level 1 skip counts by 2s, 5s, 10s and 100s. Level 2 explores multiplication-table patterns, counting up and down. Level 3 follows a rule such as 'start at 4, add 6' or 'multiply by 2'. Every pattern has exactly one right answer.

What kids practise
Skip-Count Trail gives students repeated, low-pressure practice with skip counting, number patterns, multiplication patterns, and rules for patterns. It is written for grades 2-4, with levels that let younger and older players start at the right difficulty. Every question is generated fresh, so a replay is never the same, and a wrong answer shows the correct one so the round teaches as well as tests.
How it plays
Controls: Keys 1-4 pick an answer (or 1-6 to tap a stone in a broken-step gate); Tab and Enter also work. Mouse or touch: tap the buttons or stones. P pauses, M mutes.
It works with a keyboard, a trackpad or a touch screen, so it runs on school Chromebooks, tablets and phones.
