Counting in 2s
In skip counting 2s every second number is noted like 2,4,6,8..etc. We add the number by 2. if you start the number from 3 then 5, 7 like that it goes on.
Counting in 5s
In skip counting 5s every 5th number is noted like 5, 10,15, etc. We add every 5 numbers. If you start from 3 then 8, 13 it goes on like that.
