Skip counting and Repeated Addition

We learnt how to use skip counting and repeated addition to figure out the multiplication and division promble.

Skip counting is counting up and down using the same number. For example : Sam has seven 5 doller notes how much money does he have all together?

 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35. The answer is 35. We did 7 lots of 5 to figure the answer.                                                                                   

Repeating Addition is repeating a certain number to get a answer for a problem. For example: Mike was at the beach for five days he collected 14 sea shells every day to keep. how many shells deos he have in total? 

14 +14 +14 +14 +14 =70. We did 5 lots of 14 to figure out the answer.

I enjoyed this actitvty because I learnt how to use skip counting and repeating numbers.
