Skip Counting by 100 - Explanation and Examples

What is skip counting?

Skip counting is a method of counting by a fixed number other than 1. Instead of counting by ones, skip counting involves counting by a specific interval.     

The specific interval can be another number for example 2, 3, 5, 10 etc. 

Skip Counting by 100

Skip counting by 100 involves counting numbers in increments of 100, that means when skip counting by 100, 100 is added to a number to get the next number.

Example of skip counting by 100 starting from 100

When skip counting by 100, 100 is added to a number to get the next number.

100 + 100 = 200, 

200 + 100 = 300,

300 + 100 = 400… and so on

100, 200, 300, 400… and so on.

Skip Counting by 100 starting from 5 will count as follows:

5, 105, 205, 305, 405 and so on...

Skip Counting by 100 - Practice Examples

What comes after 790 in the figure below?

790 + 100 = 890

What comes next in the pattern below?

8,  108,  208,  308,  408,  ?

In the number pattern above adding 100 to a number gives the next number. The number after 408 will be 100 more than 408.

408 + 100 = 508

8,  108,  208,  308,  408,  508

The video above includes more practice examples.
