Count by 150 (Skip Counting by 150s)

Count by 150

Here we will show you how to count by 150, discuss counting by 150 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 150 matters. To start off, note that Count by 150 means counting in 150s, or count by one hundred fifties, and it is also called skip counting by 150.

How to count by 150
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 150, we count 150, 300, 450, 600, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 150 or skip counting by 150, we start with 150 and then add 150 to get the next number, and then continue adding 150 to the previous number to keep counting by 150, like this:

150
150 + 150 = 300
300 + 150 = 450
450 + 150 = 600
600 + 150 = 750
...

You can of course skip count by 150 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 150 Chart of the first 100 numbers to get you started.

Looking at the chart above, you will see that the first column has the first ten numbers you get when you skip count by 150, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 150, and so forth.

Count by 150 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 150s Chart above in 10 rows and 10 columns so you can easily identify patterns.

Skip counting always creates patterns. Figuring out these patterns may help you if want to count by 150, but don't have the Counting by 150s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 150s is that the number increases by 150.

Furthermore, if you look at each row above, each number in the row has the same last digit (ones place). That means that every tenth number has the same last digit.

If you look down the columns, you will see that the last digit (ones place) repeats itself in blocks of 1 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 150 goes 0 and 0 and so on for as long as you count by 150.

Why Count by 150?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 150 is important, because it teaches you how the arithmetic operations fit together. Below are some examples of what we mean.

When you count by one hundred fifty, you are also creating a list of multiples of 150 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 150 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 150.

When you skip count by 150, you are also creating a list of numbers that 150 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 150 is the same as making the 150 times table.
