Skip Counting Worksheet

Are your students learning how to skip count by 2, 5 and 10? These numbers are typically the first intervals students learn to skip count. After practising this skill, why not give them a chance to show what they know! This maths worksheet can be a homework assignment, reteaching worksheet, or assessment to add to your skip counting unit. 

This double-sided worksheet includes four different skip counting charts to fill in. Students have an opportunity to skip count by 2, 5 and 10. Each skip counting chart begins with a different number for students to practise this skill. To complete this activity, students will look at the given numbers, fill in the missing blanks, and then circle which number they skip counted by.

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy!

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

In addition to independent student work time, use this worksheet as an activity for:

• Guided maths groups 
• Lesson warm-up
• Fast finishers 
• Homework assignment
• Whole-class review (via smartboard).

If there are students who need additional support, invite them to complete this activity in a 1-on-1 setting or with a small group. Additionally, provide students with a hundreds chart to help them with this worksheet.

For students who need a bit of a challenge, encourage them to create a list of numbers and skip count by a more challenging number, such as 3, 4 or 6.
