Skip counting by 10 can be defined as adding a certain number with a predetermined difference. In other words, it skips from number to number by the same difference every time it takes. If we want to skip counting by 10, it means we need to move to the next number with a difference as many as 10. To assist us while doing this operation, we can use counting by 10s chart. We actually skip ten numbers from the previous number we chose. For example, the result of skip counting by 10 of number 20 can be 30, 40, 50, and many more. The difference between each number we choose is 10. Then, we can see that each number has the same amount of the difference.
Typically, most toddlers can recite number one to ten when they reach the age of . Even though they can name each number sequentially, they actually don't really understand the concept of basic math until they are 2-4 years old. When they mention number 1 as an opening and number 10 as a closing, they actually just memorize the order. They still don’t understand that the earlier numbers are smaller than the recent numbers. They don’t get it if the order of counting 1 to 10 they commonly do is in ascending order. Every parent doesn't want to miss the chance when their children are at a golden age. There is so much progress made by the kids. It's because the intelligence and cognitive skills of them are rising significantly. At this age, they are also able to understand fast.

To sum up, it will be so beneficial to understand skip counting for multiplication lessons.
