Counting by twos, fives and tens

Key Notes :

Counting by Twos:

Counting by twos follows a specific pattern where each number is obtained by adding 2 to the previous number.

Counting by Fives:

Counting by 5s means counting numbers where each number is five more than the previous number. Instead of counting one by one (1, 2, 3, 4, …), you skip count by fives (5, 10, 15, 20, …).

Counting by Tens:

Counting by tens means counting numbers where each number is ten more than the one before it. Instead of counting one by one (1, 2, 3, 4, …), you skip count by tens (10, 20, 30, 40, …).
