Now you will use that same skill with bigger jumps: 6, 7, 25, and 1000. *(drawing: Count by 6s: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36.)* **Example.** Mia packs eggs into cartons. Each carton holds 7 eggs. She counts the cartons by 7s: 7, 14, 21, 28. **Tip.** Numbers in steps of 25 always end in 25, 50, 75, or 00. Numbers in steps of 1000 just grow one more thousand each time, like 1000, 2000, 3000. **Recap.** Skip counting means jumping by the same number every time, whether that jump is 6, 7, 25, or 1000. ## Practice 18 questions on this page, each with its working shown. ## Needs first - [Skip Counting (4s, 8s, 50s, 100s)](https://lightmysky.com/learn/mathematics/skip-counting-4s-8s-50s-100s-mt_IzQvs7k_sE) ## Opens up - [All times tables to 12×12](https://lightmysky.com/learn/mathematics/all-times-tables-to-12-12-mt_K5jM7vlVhA)
