Skip count in 100s means skipping 100 places (digits Remember
at the tens and ones places remain the same).
For skip counting, we fix
For example, 7108, 7208, 7308, 7408, 7508 a number to skip, start

Skip count in 1000s means skipping 1000 places the count from a number,

the same).

For example, 2845, 3845, 4845, 5845, 6845, 7845

More Than and Less Than

Consider the number 8135.
To find a number 2 more than 8135, we add 2 to 8135, i.e., 8135 + 2 = 8137.

To find a number 3 less than 8135, we subtract 3 from 8135, i.e., 8135 – 3 = 8132.
