"Skip Counting" is counting by a number that is not 1
Example: We Skip Count by 2 like this:
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, ...
Learning to "Skip Count" helps you:
|
Skip Counting by 10s
Skip Counting by 10s is the easiest.
It is like normal counting (1, 2, 3,...) except there is an extra "0":
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, ...
- Practice: Skip Counting by 10s to 100
- Practice: Skip Counting by 10s to 300
Skip Count by 2
Learning to skip count by 2 means you can count things faster!
Try this example, who will be the winner?

Drag the marbles:

Now you can practice by "Filling Out the Missing Numbers":
- First try: Skip Counting by 2s to 20
- And then: Skip Counting by 2s to 100
Skip Counting by 5s
Skip Counting by 5s has a nice pattern:
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, ...
That pattern should make it easy for you!
OK, let us get some practice:
Skip Counting by 3s and 4s
Skip Counting by 3s is:
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, ...
- Practice: Skip Counting by 3s to 36
- And: Skip Counting by 3s to 90
Skip Counting by 4s is:
4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, ...
- Practice: Skip Counting by 4s to 48
- And: Skip Counting by 4s to 120
Skip Count Backwards!
Yes, skip counting also works backwards:
Skip Count by Bigger Numbers!
Try these for a challenge:
25 | Skip Counting by 25s | |
50 | Skip Counting by 50s | |
100 | Skip Counting by 100s |
Skip Count on the Number Line
Also try skip counting on the number line

Multiplication is essentially repeated addition a given number m {\displaystyle \scriptstyle m\,}
For example, 7 × 4 = 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 28 {\displaystyle \scriptstyle 7\times 4\,=\,7+7+7+7\,=\,28\,}
Like addition, multiplication is commutative[1]. Thus, 4 × 7 = 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 28 {\displaystyle \scriptstyle 4\times 7\,=\,4+4+4+4+4+4+4\,=\,28\,}
Iterated multiplication can be abbreviated by the use of the product operator (denoted with the capital letter pi of the Greek alphabet), i.e.
∏ i = 1 n a i ≡ a 1 ⋅ a 2 ⋅ a 3 ⋅ … ⋅ a n . {\displaystyle \prod _{i=1}^{n}a_{i}\equiv a_{1}\cdot a_{2}\cdot a_{3}\cdot \ldots \cdot a_{n}.\,}The multiplicative identity is 1: any number multiplied by 1 remains the same. For example, –43 × 1 = –43, 0 × 1 = 0, 3.7 × 1 = 3.7, etc.
The multiplicative inverse (denoted / n {\displaystyle \scriptstyle /n\,}
Division is multiplication with multiplicative inverse of second term (the divisor) which by definition makes it non-commutative.
The generating function of sequences of multiples is
M m ( n ) ≡ m n , n ≥ 0 {\displaystyle M_{m}(n)\equiv mn,\ n\geq 0\,}is given by
G { M m ( n ) } ( x ) = G { m n } ( x ) = m G { n } ( x ) = m x A 1 ( x ) ( 1 − x ) 2 = m x ( 1 − x ) 2 , {\displaystyle G_{\{M_{m}(n)\}}(x)=G_{\{mn\}}(x)=m\ G_{\{n\}}(x)={\frac {mxA_{1}(x)}{(1-x)^{2}}}={\frac {mx}{(1-x)^{2}}},\,}where A 1 ( x ) = 1 {\displaystyle \scriptstyle A_{1}(x)\,=\,1\,}

Notes
- ↑ This is true within the field of complex numbers. But there is such a thing as non-commutative multiplication: matrix multiplication is non-commutative an so is multiplication of hypercomplex numbers, like quaternion multiplication.
