Skip Counting
Skip counting means we count by skipping numbers.
When we count by 2s:
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12...
We skip 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11...
When we count by 5s:
5, 10, 15, 20, 25...
We skip many numbers in between!
When we count by 10s:
10, 20, 30, 40, 50...
We jump even bigger!
Skip counting helps us:
- Count faster
- Learn about patterns
- Get ready for multiplication
