Frequently asked questions
What is skip counting?+
Skip counting means counting up by a number other than one — like counting by 2s (2, 4, 6, 8), by 5s (5, 10, 15, 20), or by 10s. You add the same step each time to make the pattern.
Why is skip counting important?+
It builds number sense and is the foundation of multiplication — counting by 5s is really the 5 times table. It also helps with telling time (by 5s), counting money, and place value (by 10s and 100s).
What ages is skip counting for?+
Counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s suits Kindergarten and Grade 1; counting by 3s and 4s and larger steps fits Grades 2–3 as multiplication begins.
