Skip counting is a mathematics technique taught as a kind of multiplication in reform mathematics textbooks such as TERC.

The three fingers on the left hand represent 10+10+10 = 30; the thumb and one finger on the right hand represent 5+1=6. Counting from 1 to 20 in Chisanbop. Each finger has a value of one, while the thumb has a value of five. Therefore each hand can represent the digits 0-9, rather than the usual 0-5.
(6x,4)(4,2x)(4,6x)(2x,4) A pattern is symmetric if all throws made by the right hand are made by the left hand in the same order. It follows that a synchronous pattern is symmetric if the sequence of throws made by one hand in the siteswap notation is a rotation of the other.
The position of the string is raised as the jumper moves through the levels, [7] from ankle to waist height and higher. [9] "They are great for stretching. Often a child gets so intrigued with the shapes the rope can make that [the child] stretches much harder than [the child] would have otherwise." [8]
