Count by 34 (Skip Counting by 34s)

Count by 34

Here we will show you how to count by 34, discuss counting by 34 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 34 matters. To start off, note that Count by 34 means counting in 34s, or count by thirty-fours, and it is also called skip counting by 34.

How to count by 34
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 34, we count 34, 68, 102, 136, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 34 or skip counting by 34, we start with 34 and then add 34 to get the next number, and then continue adding 34 to the previous number to keep counting by 34, like this:

34
34 + 34 = 68
68 + 34 = 102
102 + 34 = 136
136 + 34 = 170
...

You can of course skip count by 34 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 34 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 34, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 34, and so forth.

Count by 34 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 34s 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 34, but don't have the Counting by 34s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 34s is that the number increases by 34.

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 5 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 34 goes 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 34.

Why Count by 34?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 34 is important, because it teaches you how the arithmetic operations fit together. Below are some examples of what we mean.

When you count by thirty-four, you are also creating a list of multiples of 34 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 34 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 34.

When you skip count by 34, you are also creating a list of numbers that 34 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 34 is the same as making the 34 times table.
