How it works
This skip counting by 100 chart counts in tens, so each of the 12 stops to 1200 ends a row. Read a note about each hundred in the list further down, then fill the gaps in the strip.

One digit does the moving
In this count only the hundreds digit changes: 100, 200, 300. The two zeros at the end never move. Each row of this chart is worth 100, so the lit squares go straight down the right edge, one to a row. Said aloud from another start, the ending still holds: 37, 137, 237.
Over the thousand
The jump to watch is 900 + 100 = 1000, where the count gains a fourth digit. A pupil who says ten hundred has the value right, because ten hundreds make one thousand. Numbers on the chart offers 10 to 1200, or 10 to 1000 to end on the 10th stop.
- Put up a finger per hundred: 1 hundred, 2 hundred. At the tenth finger, trade all ten for one thousand.
- After the plain run, count aloud from another start: 250, 350, 450. The 50 stays and the first digit climbs.
- Past 1000, say both names once: 1100 is one thousand one hundred and also eleven hundred. Then keep one.

How do I print skip counting by 100 worksheets?
Press Print 6 counting strips, under the strip, for a sheet of 6 strips of hundreds and an answer key. For full rows, open skip counting worksheets and choose Count by 100s to 1,000, or Count on by 100s from any number to 1,000.
Why does the chart count in tens?
A chart of ones would need 1,200 squares to show 12 stops. With each square counting 10, a row is worth 100 and each stop ends a row. Ten jumps of 10 cross one row. One jump of 100 covers the same ground.
