Skip Counting

Skip counting is the process of counting numbers by a specific interval rather than by ones. This method helps in learning multiplication and understanding patterns in numbers.

Example

To skip count by 2, you start with a number (let's say 2) and then add 2 to get the next number (2 + 2 = 4), then add 2 again to get the next number (4 + 2 = 6), and so on.

Benefits of Skip Counting

• It helps in learning multiplication tables.
• It allows for quick addition and subtraction by recognizing number patterns.
• It helps in understanding the concept of even and odd numbers.

Practice

Let's practice skip counting by 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30...
