Skip Counting Math Example 1
Follow the full solution, then compare it with the other examples linked below.
Example 1
easyCount by 2s starting from 0. Write the first 6 numbers.
Solution
- 1 Start at 0. Skip-count by 2 means add 2 each time.
- 2 0, then \(0+2=2\), then \(2+2=4\), then \(4+2=6\), then \(6+2=8\), then \(8+2=10\).
- 3 First 6 numbers: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.
Answer
0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
Skip-counting by k means we jump k units each time. Counting by 2s gives all the even numbers.
About Skip Counting
Counting forward by a number other than 1, jumping by equal intervals such as 2s, 5s, or 10s to produce the multiples of that number.
