Are you ready to learn about counting by multiples? In this lesson, we will explore how to count by multiples and how we can use this skill to solve problems in mathematics.

First, let's start by reviewing what you already know about counting. When we count, we start at one and go up by one each time. For example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... But what if we want to count by multiples of a number?

Here's an example: If we want to count by threes, we start at three and go up by three each time. So, it would look like this: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15...

Now, let's try another one. If we want to count by fives, we start at five and go up by five each time. So, it would look like this: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25...

Counting by multiples can be really helpful when we want to solve problems in mathematics. It helps us to find patterns, make predictions, and calculate quickly.
