The video tutorial teaches efficient counting methods using skip counting by fives, tens, and hundreds. It explains how skip counting involves counting by numbers larger than one, such as twos, fives, tens, and hundreds. The tutorial highlights the inefficiency of counting by ones and demonstrates how grouping objects can speed up the counting process. Patterns in skip counting are explored, particularly the alternating ones place digits when counting by fives and the consistent zero in the ones place when counting by tens. The use of coins, like nickels and dimes, is also discussed to illustrate counting by fives and tens, while dimes are used to demonstrate counting by hundreds.

What is skip counting?
