Skip Counting
Skip counting is a way to count by a certain number other than 1. It helps us count quickly and efficiently when dealing with larger numbers.
Example:
To skip count by 2, we start at a given number and then add 2 to get the next number. For example, if we start at 2, the next number will be 4, then 6, 8, and so on.
Benefits of Skip Counting
- It helps in learning multiplication.
- It helps in counting objects quickly.
- It makes it easier to understand patterns in numbers.
Practice Exercise:
Let's practice skip counting by 5s: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50...
By skip counting, we can quickly and easily count by 5s without having to count each number individually.
