Skip Count
Counting is the core of basic math. Once kids learn to count by 1's, they are introduced with skip counting. This is to count by a number larger than one. In second grade we will focus on skip count by 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, 10's and 100's. To get smarter in math, kids need good mental math skills. Students who are competent at this skill, can add and subtract numbers easily. Skip count will help student with money and multiplication skills.
