Does skip counting help with multiplication?
Relate skip counting to multiplication (i.e., skip counting can help us understand multiplication because it helps us count in equal groups to reach a number, like counting ten groups of two to get to 20).
How do you use skip counting?
To skip count, we keep adding the same number each time to the previous number. Here, we are skip counting by 2 on a number line. So, starting at 0, the next number will be 0 + 2 = 2, then, 2 + 2 = 4, then 4 + 2 = 6, then 6 + 2 = 8, and then, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and so on.
How do I skip count by 3?

- Once we get to 30 we have a number ending in 0.
When we skip count we are listing multiples?
The major application of skip counting is the multiplication tables or multiples of numbers, where we skip count each number to get its multiple. For example, to find the table of 5, we have to skip count by 5 to get its multiples such as 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and so on.

How to teach students to skip count by Twos?
Draw a number line on the board and show students how they would make ‘jumps’ along the number line to skip count by twos. Point out the equal sized jumps and explain that when they are skip counting, they are actually counting equal sized groups.
When do you skip counting to help with an unknown fact?
When you’re skip counting to help with an unknown fact, a child needs to be able to start with what they know and add the number they are multiplying on. Kids need to know that 5 groups of 8 is 40. If we add another group of 8 to it to make 6 groups of 8 the answer is now 48.
