Practice Skip Counting

Skip counting means jumping over numbers in equal steps. Instead of counting 1, 2, 3, 4… you jump straight to 2, 4, 6, 8… or 5, 10, 15… or 10, 20, 30… It is repeated addition on a number line — and a shortcut to multiplication!

1Skip count by 2s, 5s, and 10s on a number line
2Identify the next value in a skip-count sequence
