Frequently Asked Questions
What skip counting skills do 1st graders learn?
First graders count by 2s, 5s, and 10s to 100 or beyond, using the pattern to predict what comes next and laying the groundwork for multiplication.
Why is skip counting by 5s and 10s taught first?
Those patterns match money and telling time, so students see the usefulness immediately — and they build the skip-counting habit for multiplication facts later.
