How it works
Skip counting by 12 is counting in dozens: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60. This chart lights 15 stops up to 180 and gives each jump a note, from the inches in a yard to the hours in a week.

Why the 12s end like the 2s
Each jump adds 1 ten and 2 ones, so the ones digits run 2, 4, 6, 8, 0, as in the 2s. Every fifth jump skips a whole ten: 48 to 60, 108 to 120, 168 to 180. On the chart each stop sits one row down and two squares right of the last until column 10. Then the count restarts in column 2, leaving rows 7 and 13 empty.
Three chart lengths
Under the chart, Numbers on the chart sets the end: 180, 120 or 100. Each jump, such as 48 + 12 = 60, has its note in the list All 15 jumps, further down. Then type the missing numbers in the strip and press Check.
- Add 12 in two parts, 10 then 2: 84, 94, 96.
- Already know the 6s? Say them quietly and clap on every second one: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36.
- 156 is a stop: its digits add to 12, in the 3s, and the ending 56 is in the 4s.
Questions and answers
Which numbers do you say when skip counting by 12s?
Skip counting by 12s gives 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144, 156, 168 and 180. Eight of the 15 fit under 100, and 96 is the last of them.
Is a 12 skip counting chart the same as the 12 times table?
The numbers match, but the view differs. This chart leaves the dozens among every other number, so the slant of the stops and the empty rows show. For single facts such as 7 × 12, open the 12 times table chart.
Can I print the dozens as a worksheet?
Print 6 counting strips, below the strip, prints six strips of dozens on one sheet, none past 132, and the answers on another. Print the chart gives no strip. For rows that reach 144, choose Count by 12s to 144 on skip counting worksheets.
