What this skill is

Counting by 2s, 5s, 10s, and beyond.

When it comes up: Throughout second grade.

The mistake to watch for

Skip counting fluently from zero but stalling when asked to start from another number — 15, 20, 25 is harder than 5, 10, 15.

How to help

Practice starting from odd places on a hundreds chart. The step size is what matters, not the starting point.

Next: Repeated addition and arrays.

A worked example

Count by fives: 5, 10, 15, 20, ___. Each number is 5 more than the one before it, so the next number is 25.

Words to know

count: To say numbers in order to find out how many there are.
pattern: Something that repeats in a way you can predict, like 2, 4, 6, 8.
number: A word or symbol that tells how many, like 5 or twelve.
skip: To go past some numbers when you count, like 5, 10, 15.
next: The one that comes right after.

Practice

Write the next number in each pattern.
