Play the 'Skip Count By 25' video. Encourage students to sing along and clap to the rhythm of the song. - Guided Practice (10 mins)
Write the numbers 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275, 300 on the board. Point to each number as you and the students say it together, reinforcing the sequence. Discuss the patterns they see (e.g., the numbers end in 00, 25, 50, or 75). - Real-World Connection (5 mins)
Explain that skip counting by 25s is helpful when counting quarters. Ask them how many quarters make one dollar (4 quarters). Relate 100 cents to one dollar. - Independent Practice (10 mins)
