Skip counting by 5s means counting by adding 5 each time. It's like taking a shortcut on the number line! Instead of going 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, you jump straight to 5, 10, 15, 20. This skill is super handy for quickly counting groups of things and understanding multiplication later on.
For example, if you have 3 groups of 5 apples, you can skip count: 5, 10, 15. That means you have 15 apples in total!
