King Alfred Academy Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I am looking for a skip counting cd. Which ones do you like? Which ones have you had the most success with? I would prefer to be able to download it from the internet, but that isn't necessary. Thanks!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sara Mac Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 We loved The Skip Counting Zone from http://www.googolpower.com/store/type-online-digital-c-9_35.html It is downloadable :) All my kids love this CD even when my youngest was 2 he used to demand to listen to Skip Counting in the car :lol: My 6 yr old has just finished the multiplication section in Singapore 1B and she flew through it all thanks to that CD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela&4boys Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 We love One Hundred Sheep from Common Sense Press. It's a little corny, but high quality. Actually, I contribute the corny humor to their retention. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretchen in NJ Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I am not sure if they have the songs on a CD, but my girls loved School House Rock on DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I have Rock N Go So Skip Counting. Throwing it out there because I don't feel like cleaning up the kitchen :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolally Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 our Classical Conversations skip counting songs--they are on each cycle's memory work audio CD which is relatively inexpensive considering you get memory work from 5 other subjects as well--they skip count cubes, squares, and #'s up to 15's. http://www.classicalconversations.com or I bet you could find one used--cycle one, two or three will have the same skip counting songs. They were effective, the only issue was my son complained that they sounded a little too 'opera' ish. But--he still uses the songs daily, even in pre-algebra! He says there are certain things that are just easier for him with skip counting--I think when he's dividing or seeking GCFs. Mastering these has been one of the big 'payoffs' I see in our homeschooling. I've heard great things about the Math-U-See skip count songs also--I think there is a normal version and then a 'chipmunk' style fast version.
