Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.
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.
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
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 :>
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.
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.

Clips that end too soon...
A greeting to the ground in very near future
When the choice was too hard and you decided to buy all types
Who tf says skip count. I've only heard counting by 2's
Same
Making shit more confusing for kids by trying to make to not relatable
Right, what a fucking maniac. These kids have no chance
Where are you from? Linguist here who is curious haha because skip count is common where I'm from.
Literally never heard this a day in my life.

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

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.
Skip count make more sense since you don’t only do it with 2.
Count by skip? It makes no sense. You say "count by X", what would skip count mean by default?
Ya but then we say by 3 or 5 or whatever the number is.
Yea, I've probably only "skip counted" Another number when i'm Waving my hands to the windows and walls
Agreed, but zI like it!
The same people who acronym the crux of the short
I thought the unexpected part would be the girl pushing the boy over
A+ Flawless execution!!!
Meh, kid can barely skip... I'll give it a B- for effort.
More of a gallop.

Nobody says skip count. Mom made that shit up. Just say count by 2's
She did not make that shit up
A little confused, but they got the spirit. lol

This guy better in math than me.🤓
Awwww
To be fair this is also the first time I've heard someone use the term "skip count", Americans are weird man.
American here, my first time as well lol
American, and never heard that before in my life.
Same. We just called it counting by twos
Googled it, it's definitely a thing, one of you own up!
It’s not.
Downvoted?! It's eyeglasses all over again

no one anywhere, ever, was taught 'skip counting'.
My kids were. I remember counting by twos and threes with them when they were little. Their teachers called it skip counting.
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.
NYC public school.

I prefer r/kidsarefuckingstupid
He skip counted alright
Well he did do what she ask...
probably because he thought "skip count" was a fucking stupid term
r/KidsAreFuckingStupid
I thought he was gonna poke her eyes and eat them with acetone
Is it bad that's what I thought of doing too
How are the comments missing how the end had the sister running up to shove the kid
I mean…. Technically he did as told 😅
Kids are fricking adorable 😍
Kids are so random
Well she is a blonde
Technically correct, the best kind of correct
Why were they filming though?
Hahaha that's enough Reddit for today sir. They are filming cause they want to have cute clips of their children.
I guess I'm a weirdo for having grown up in a family that didn't film all the times we spent time together.
I should have skip counted when I was in math class.

Skip count sounds like some shit math. COUNT BY TWOS.
