Practice Skip Counting in Math

Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.

Quick Recap

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.

Skip counting is like hopping along a number line instead of walking step by step. Counting by 5s is like hopping over 4 numbers each time: 5,10,15,20,โ€ฆ5, 10, 15, 20, \ldots
