Teaching Skip Counting
What it is
Skip counting is counting forward by a number other than one (2, 4, 6, 8 or 5, 10, 15, 20). It prepares a child for multiplication and for counting money and minutes.
When a child is ready
Start with 10s and 5s once counting to 100 is secure, then 2s.
If they struggle
Point to a hundred chart while counting so the pattern is visible, and count real things in groups (pairs of shoes, nickels). Rhythm and clapping help the sequence stick.
