From our teachers' playbook

2, 4, 6, 8, who do we appreciate?

What do kids learn about skip counting?

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. The click moment comes when a child counts pairs of shoes by twos without being asked.

Our favorite ways to teach skip counting

Skip counting has a rhythm, so we lean into it. These moves build patterns kids can hear and see.

Sing it by twos

Play the counting by twos song and have kids clap on every number. Next time, they whisper the odd numbers and shout the even ones. Hearing the skipped numbers makes the pattern obvious.

Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).

Fives on the clock

Draw a big clock and count by 5s around it together, writing each number by the hour marks. Then ask "How many minutes when the long hand is on the 4?" Skip counting and telling time click together.

Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).

Tens and hundreds

For older kids, mix counting by tens and hundreds, starting from odd spots like 340 or 1,250. Starting somewhere other than zero shows whether kids understand the pattern or just memorized a chant.

Why it works: shuffled practice teaches kids to choose the right strategy, not just repeat one, and it improved test scores in research (Rohrer and Taylor, 2007).

Questions parents and teachers ask us

What is skip counting?

Skip counting means counting forward by a number other than 1, like 2, 4, 6, 8. It helps kids count faster, see number patterns and learn multiplication.

What grade do kids learn skip counting?

Kindergarteners count by tens to 100. First and second graders skip count by 2s, 5s, 10s and 100s. Third graders use skip counting by other numbers to learn multiplication facts.

How does skip counting help with multiplication?

Skip counting is repeated addition. Counting by 4s (4, 8, 12, 16) gives the answers to 4 x 1, 4 x 2, 4 x 3 and 4 x 4. Kids who skip count well learn multiplication facts faster.

How can I practice skip counting at home?

Count socks by twos, nickels by fives and dimes by tens. Sing skip counting songs in the car. Bounce a ball or jump rope while counting by a number.
