Skip counting means counting forward by the same number each time. Kindergarteners count by tens to 100. First and second graders add 2s and 5s, and second graders skip count by 5s, 10s and 100s within 1,000: 250, 260, 270. In third grade, skip counting by 3s, 4s, 6s and beyond becomes the doorway to multiplication: 3, 6, 9, 12 is the 3s table in disguise. Kids also learn to count by 5s around a clock to tell time.
