stride

Stride is like when you take steps while walking. Imagine you are walking on a path made of stones. If you step on every single stone, it’s like taking small steps. But if you skip some stones and step on every second or third stone, that’s like having a bigger stride. Stride is about how many steps you skip.
Think about a ladder with rungs. If you climb the ladder by stepping on every rung, you have a small stride. But if you skip a rung and step on every other one, your stride is bigger. Stride helps you move faster because you are covering more distance with fewer steps.
Another way to see stride is like playing hopscotch. When you play, you can jump on every square or skip some squares. Skipping squares is like having a bigger stride. It’s like choosing how far you want to jump each time.
Stride is also like eating a sandwich. If you take a bite of every single layer, that’s a small stride. But if you take a big bite that includes several layers, that’s a bigger stride. Stride helps you decide how much you want to take in at once.
