Count Forward & Backward by Fives, Tens, and Hundreds

🦘 Hop, skip, or giant leap! The frog is back, but this time it can leap an entire football field at once by jumping in Hundreds!

Lesson 4

Concept

Skip counting by Hundreds is actually the easiest skip counting of all. šŸŽÆ **The Hundreds Dial Pattern:** If you start at 342, and jump up by **100s**... * Look at the 3 (the Hundreds place). * Turn the dial up 1 tick! -> 4! * **342 -> 442 -> 542 -> 642**. * The Tens and Ones (the "42") NEVER CHANGE! Only the first number moves! šŸŽÆ **Backward Jumps:** If you want to subtract by 10s... just dial the middle number BACKWARD. * **875 -> 865 -> 855 -> 845**.
