Captain Coral took Scuba Bob to see the jellyfish. They floated in groups of 10.
"Use skip counting!" said Captain Coral. She pointed at each group: "10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100!"
"You counted 100 jellyfish that fast?" asked Scuba Bob.
"That is the power of skip counting!" said Captain Coral.
Then 2 more groups swam by. Scuba Bob said, "100... 110... 120! There are 120 jellyfish!"
"You just counted to 120 by 10s. That is a pattern!" said Captain Coral.
