Skip counting for Class 2

What skip counting means, one worked example step by step, and 5 questions to try. No timer, no account.

What it means

Skip counting means counting by a number bigger than one: in twos, fives or tens. Each step grows by the same amount. It is the base for times tables and for counting equal groups quickly.

Worked example: Count in 5s: 5, 10, 15, ?

  1. 1Look at the step size: each number is 5 more than the last.
  2. 25, then 10, then 15.
  3. 3Add one more step of 5: 15 + 5.
  4. 4The next number is 20.

So 5, 10, 15, 20.
