Skip counting is counting up and counting down using the same number like multiplacation. For example: Sam has 7 five dollar notes. How much money does he have altogether? 5,10,15,20,25,30,35. The answer is 35. I skip counted in fives 7 times. 7x5 is 7 lots of five.
Repeated addition is repeting a number many amunt of times to find an answer. For example: Mike was at the beach for five days he collected 14 sea shells every day to keep how many shells does he have in total? 14+14+14+14+14=70
I can now use this stratagy to use for bigger numbers in equations.
