Skip Counting

Once children have mastered counting by ones, they are introducted to skip counting – that is counting by 2s, counting by 5s, counting by 10s, and so on. Not only is this helpful for children to count faster, but it allows kids to work on manipluating numbers into groups and to set a foundation for multiplication and other higher math. This skill is typically taught beginning with Kindergartners as and kids learn to count by 2, count by 5, and count by 10. Then grade 1 will count by 3 and count by 4. Finally grade 2 will learn to count by 6, count by 7, count by 8, and count by 9. Elementary age students will continue reviewing until they are introduced to multiplication in grade 3 or grade 4.
