Count by 95 (Skip Counting by 95s)

Count by 95

Here we will show you how to count by 95, discuss counting by 95 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 95 matters. To start off, note that Count by 95 means counting in 95s, or count by ninety-fives, and it is also called skip counting by 95.

How to count by 95
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 95, we count 95, 190, 285, 380, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 95 or skip counting by 95, we start with 95 and then add 95 to get the next number, and then continue adding 95 to the previous number to keep counting by 95, like this:

95
95 + 95 = 190
190 + 95 = 285
285 + 95 = 380
380 + 95 = 475
...

You can of course skip count by 95 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 95 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 95, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 95, and so forth.

Count by 95 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 95s 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 95, but don't have the Counting by 95s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 95s is that the number increases by 95.

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 2 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 95 goes 5, 0 and 5, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 95.

Why Count by 95?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 95 is important, because it teaches you how the arithmetic operations fit together. Below are some examples of what we mean.

When you count by ninety-five, you are also creating a list of multiples of 95 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 95 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 95.

When you skip count by 95, you are also creating a list of numbers that 95 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 95 is the same as making the 95 times table.
