Hi friends, do you know what skip counting is?

00:07.000 --> 00:12.000
It's a fun way to count faster by jumping numbers instead of going one by one.

00:12.000 --> 00:15.000
Let's try it with some easy examples.

00:15.000 --> 00:18.000
First up, skip counting by twos.

00:18.000 --> 00:21.000
Look at these socks, five pairs.

00:21.000 --> 00:23.000
Each pair has two socks.

00:23.000 --> 00:25.000
Let's count all the socks together.

00:25.000 --> 00:29.000
Two, four, six, eight, ten.

00:29.000 --> 00:31.000
Ten socks.

00:31.000 --> 00:34.000
See how we counted faster by twos?

00:34.000 --> 00:36.000
Now, let's count by fives.

00:36.000 --> 00:40.000
Here are five baskets, and there are five apples in each basket.

00:40.000 --> 00:42.000
Let's count all the apples.

00:42.000 --> 00:47.000
Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five.

00:47.000 --> 00:50.000
Twenty-five apples in total.

00:50.000 --> 00:53.000
Let's skip counting by fives.

00:53.000 --> 00:56.000
And last, let's count by tens.

00:56.000 --> 00:58.000
You have five boxes of crayons.

00:58.000 --> 01:00.000
Each box has ten crayons.

01:00.000 --> 01:02.000
So how many crayons in all?

01:02.000 --> 01:06.000
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty.

01:06.000 --> 01:08.000
Fifty crayons.

01:08.000 --> 01:09.000
Wow!

01:09.000 --> 01:13.000
You just learned how to skip count by twos, fives, and tens.

01:13.000 --> 01:15.000
Using real things around you.

01:15.000 --> 01:16.000
Now you try.

01:16.000 --> 01:18.000
Count your toys.

01:18.000 --> 01:19.000
Books are even your steps.

01:19.000 --> 01:21.000
The skip count way.

01:21.000 --> 01:23.000
Bye-bye!
