Patterns in Skip Counting
Spotting the pattern
Skip counting makes patterns! The numbers you land on follow a rule.
2s: all even — end in 2,4,6,8,0
5s: always end in 5 or 0
10s: always end in 0
5s: always end in 5 or 0
10s: always end in 0
Skip counting makes patterns: 2s are all even, 5s end in 5 or 0, 10s end in 0. Spotting the pattern helps you predict the next number. Patterns are everywhere in maths — and finding them is fun!
