2nd grade math · Unit 7: Place value to 1,000

Counting by 25s

What this lesson shows

Quarters in a row: 25, 50, 75, 100. After 100 the pattern starts again: 125, 150, 175, 200. Then count back by 10s from 362: 352, 342, 332.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: Count back by 10s from 362. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

The steps

  1. By 25s: 25, 50, 75, 100
  2. The pattern starts again
  3. Back by 10s and 100s
  4. Back by 1s

Helping at home

Say each number aloud together. By 25s the last two digits go 25, 50, 75, 00 and start again. Counting back by 10s, only the tens digit changes; by 100s, only the hundreds digit.

If your kid gets stuck

Look at the last two digits.
