What is Skip Counting?
Skip counting is working on adding the same number over and over. You have a pattern of adding or counting.
So if you skip counting by 2s, you have a pattern like 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and so forth. These patterns can be repeated for many numbers.
And if you skip counting by 5s, you have a pattern like 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and so forth. These patterns can be repeated for many numbers.
Most often, you skip count at least 12 times, but you can skip counting more.
