Mastering Skip Counting by 10s, 100s, and 1,000s

MatholiaChannel

This video serves as a clear, step-by-step instructional guide on the mathematical concept of 'Counting On' using place value strategies. It transitions from concrete visual aids using Base-10 blocks to abstract number sequences, demonstrating how to skip count by 10s, 100s, and 1,000s with 3-digit and 4-digit numbers. The core themes explore number sense, pattern recognition within the decimal system, and the specific mechanics of 'bridging' or crossing place value thresholds (e.g., transitioning from 190 to 200). The video systematically isolates changing digits to help students visualize how adding specific quantities affects only certain place values, except when a regrouping occurs. For educators, this video is an excellent tool for visual learners who struggle to understand how place value works with larger numbers. It effectively scaffolds learning by starting with physical representations before moving to symbolic numbers, making it perfect for introducing skip counting, reinforcing mental math strategies, or supporting remediation for students struggling with multi-digit addition.
