What is skip counting?
Skip counting is counting in equal steps, by 2s, 5s or 10s, instead of by ones. It is the foundation of times tables.
How to teach it
Count in groups (2s, 5s, 10s) with a number line or hundred chart, highlighting the pattern in the ones digit. Link 5s and 10s to clocks and money.
Worked example
Common mistake
Losing the pattern partway, especially crossing tens (e.g. 28, 30 skipped) or reverting to counting by ones.
