Mission Briefing — Skip count with number jumps

Skip counting means we jump by the same number each time. We do not count every number.

Count by 2s

  • Add 2 each time.
  • Say: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10…

Count by 5s

  • Add 5 each time.
  • Say: 5, 10, 15, 20…

Count by 10s

  • Add 10 each time.
  • Say: 10, 20, 30, 40…

Tip: Look for the jump size. That tells you the next number.

Training Run — Skip count with real objects

Tap to play and pause.

Put small objects in groups. Try 2 at a time (pairs), then 5 at a time, then 10 at a time. Point and say the numbers out loud. Write one skip-count line on paper (like 10, 20, 30). Then use the tracing pad to write a few skip-count numbers neatly.

Tip: After you trace 20 or 50, say and write a short pattern like "10, 20, 30" or "40, 45, 50".
