Multiplication and Division

Description

Skip Counting involves counting by values greater than 1, such as by 2s, 5s, or 10s. For example, counting by 2s from 0 to 10 results in 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. This skill is foundational for understanding multiplication as repeated addition. This emphasizes patterns in numbers and prepares students for multiplication by establishing connections between counting and grouping.
