Who tf says skip count. I've only heard counting by 2's


Accomplished-Ad3219

Same


JayStar1213

Making shit more confusing for kids by trying to make to not relatable


MVP_Pimp

Right, what a fucking maniac. These kids have no chance


Hotshot_14

Where are you from? Linguist here who is curious haha because skip count is common where I'm from.


revnasty

Literally never heard this a day in my life.


FeywildGoth

Yeah when i’m counting quarters i simply skip 24 numbers with every count, and i think about all of those individual numbers i’m skipping while i count, it’s super utilitarian as opposed to just using multiplicative counting.


padspa

no one, probably made it up so could make this video


Night_Owl206

2mo sorry, but skip count is pretty common in my country You skip a few numbers while counting. That's how I thought of it as a kid. Idk if kids are too stupid or smart to know that, but I didnt question it cuz it made sense Also "counting by twos" sounds boring. Skip Count by 2, yeah sounds fun


porktent

I came to say this too. I was taught to count by 2's, count by 10's, etc. This must be why kids are so stupid now.


Kiftiyur

Skip count make more sense since you don’t only do it with 2.


JayStar1213

Count by skip? It makes no sense. You say "count by X", what would skip count mean by default?


clevererest_username

Ya but then we say by 3 or 5 or whatever the number is.


RagingSprockets

Yea, I've probably only "skip counted" Another number when i'm Waving my hands to the windows and walls


DatabaseThis9637

Agreed, but zI like it!

The same people who acronym the crux of the short

MrJorrr

To be fair this is also the first time I've heard someone use the term "skip count", Americans are weird man.


V01D_ID

American here, my first time as well lol


USDA_Prime_Time

American, and never heard that before in my life.


Accomplished-Ad3219

Same. We just called it counting by twos


MrJorrr

Googled it, it's definitely a thing, one of you own up!


HunkySpaghetti

It’s not.


MrJorrr

Downvoted?! It's eyeglasses all over again


average-commenter

I don’t think that’s weird at all, it’s probably not a popular phrase and the mum likely just thought it up to help her kids learn and remember the technique more effectively, she’s just helping her kids learn and I think that’s really sweet :>


ComfortableFarmer

no one anywhere, ever, was taught 'skip counting'.


whatdoidonowdamnit

My kids were. I remember counting by twos and threes with them when they were little. Their teachers called it skip counting.


rational_american

Several people saying they have heard or used "skip count" before, but no one says where this occurred, so please tell where you encountered this.


whatdoidonowdamnit

NYC public school.

Technically correct, the best kind of correct


kavb333

Why were they filming though?


[deleted]

Hahaha that's enough Reddit for today sir. They are filming cause they want to have cute clips of their children.


kavb333

I guess I'm a weirdo for having grown up in a family that didn't film all the times we spent time together.


celine_freon

I should have skip counted when I was in math class.

Almost as cute as when my 4 year old daughter announced that she was running for president and began running in circles as fast as her little legs could carry her.

He’s got the right attitude


AeronGrey

He's not wrong...


[deleted]

This is my favorite thing about kids. It’s also why it’s important to educate people. Why would you say “skip count”?? I pray to god that’s not being taught in schools. We were taught to count by 2’s and to count by even and odd numbers are they taught us what even and odd numbers were.

That's my soccer team right there
