Skip by 10s from 240, then by 100s from 200
Skip-counting means counting in jumps. Today we'll jump by tens, then by hundreds.
Let's start at two hundred forty and jump by tens.
Plus ten — two hundred fifty.
Plus ten — two hundred sixty.
Plus ten — two hundred seventy.
Plus ten — two hundred eighty!
See the pattern? The tens digit goes up by one each jump. The ones stay at zero.
Now let's jump by hundreds, starting at two hundred.
Plus one hundred — three hundred.
Four hundred.
Five hundred.
Six hundred!
Now the hundreds digit goes up by one. Tens and ones stay at zero.
Skip-counting by tens or hundreds helps us count fast. Great work!
