Count by 950 (Skip Counting by 950s)

Count by 950

Here we will show you how to count by 950, discuss counting by 950 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 950 matters. To start off, note that Count by 950 means counting in 950s, or count by nine hundred fifties, and it is also called skip counting by 950.

How to count by 950
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 950, we count 950, 1900, 2850, 3800, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 950 or skip counting by 950, we start with 950 and then add 950 to get the next number, and then continue adding 950 to the previous number to keep counting by 950, like this:

950
950 + 950 = 1900
1900 + 950 = 2850
2850 + 950 = 3800
3800 + 950 = 4750
...

You can of course skip count by 950 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 950 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 950, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 950, and so forth.

Count by 950 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 950s 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 950, but don't have the Counting by 950s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 950s is that the number increases by 950.

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 950 goes 0 and 0 and so on for as long as you count by 950.

Why Count by 950?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 950 is important, because it teaches you how the arithmetic operations fit together. Below are some examples of what we mean.

When you count by nine hundred fifty, you are also creating a list of multiples of 950 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 950 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 950.

When you skip count by 950, you are also creating a list of numbers that 950 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 950 is the same as making the 950 times table.
