Kottayam’s little Zac makes city proud by setting a record

Zac Tenny Thomas has set the record of fastest skip counting done by a child. Zac is currently four years and ten months old. He has performed skip counting from the number 2 to 100 in just 3 minutes and 41 seconds. The talented young child originally belongs to Kottayam, Kerala but currently he is based in London, UK.

In math, skip counting can be defined as the method of counting forward by numbers other than 1. To skip count, we keep adding the same number each time to the previous number.

 

Proud and joyous parents of the young boy said, “Zac has always been fascinated by numbers and picked up skip counting on his own by watching TV videos like Number blocks. Honestly, we were quite amazed by the way he picked up skip counting without any actual training. When he started doing it from numbers 1 to 15, we then encouraged him to go further.”

 

The amount of time required by Zac to learn and practice skip counting was not much. With a zest to learn the child was able to quickly pick up. His parents said, “Due to his passion he would sometimes be seen practicing on his own while he was playing or putting numbers related videos on TV. We are really proud of our child. Our whole family very happy about this record.”
