Video Transcript

Daniel is skip counting to 1000. 202, 302, 402, 502, 602. Which skip count is he using? Which digit changes each time? What will the next three numbers in the sequence be?

We know that Daniel is skip counting. We need to work out which skip count he’s using and which digit changes each time. We can use our place value chart to help. Let’s say all of the numbers in Daniel’s skip count, 202, 302, 402, 502, 602. The hundreds digit changed each time. The other digits stayed the same. Daniel is skip counting by hundreds, 202, 302, 402, 502, 602.

The hundreds digit changes each time. It increases by 100. What will the next three numbers in the sequence be? Let’s start at 202 and skip count by hundreds to help us find the next three numbers in the sequence, 202, 302, 402, 502, 602, 702, 802, 902. Daniel is skip counting by hundreds. The digit which changes each time is the hundreds digit. And the next three numbers in the sequence are 702, 802, 902.
