Skip Counting by 25 - 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 25

Skip counting by 25 involves counting numbers in increments of 25, that means when skip counting by 25, 25 is added to a number to get the next number.

Example of skip counting by 25 starting from 100

When skip counting by 25, 25 is added to a number to get the next number.

100 + 25 = 125, 

125 + 25 = 150,

150 + 25 = 175… and so on

100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275… and so on.

Skip Counting by 25 starting from 20 will count as 20, 45, 70, 95, 120… and so on. 

Skip Counting by 25 - Practice Examples

Q1. What comes after 425 in the figure below?

425 + 25 = 450

Q2. What comes next in the pattern below?

320,  345,  370,  395,  ?

In the number pattern above adding 25 to a number gives the next number. The number after 395 will be 25 more than 395.

395 + 25 = 420

320, 345,  370,  395,  420
