Frequently asked questions
▶What is skip counting?
Skip counting means jumping by the same number each time instead of counting one by one. Skip counting by 2 gives 2, 4, 6, 8. By 5 gives 5, 10, 15, 20. By 10 gives 10, 20, 30.
▶How do I use the skip counting lab?
Pick a step size like 2, 5 or 10, and pick how many jumps you want. The lab shows each jump on a number line so you can see the pattern grow.
▶When is skip counting useful?
Counting 2-rupee coins is faster by 2s. Counting 5-rupee coins is faster by 5s. Counting fingers and toes of people uses 10s. It is also how you learn times tables quickly.
▶Fun skip-counting fact
Skip counting by 5 always ends in 0 or 5. Skip counting by 10 always ends in 0. These little patterns make multiplication tables easy to remember once you spot them.
