Count On It

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a numerical exercise focusing on skip counting by tens, presented in a mix of ascending (counting on) and descending (counting back) sequences. Each row provides a sequence with certain numbers given and others omitted, where the missing numbers typically represent increments or decrements of ten. Students are directed to identify the pattern and complete each sequence accordingly. Additionally, the worksheet is visually enriched with a fire truck illustration, possibly to engage students with a familiar and interesting image.

The worksheet teaches students both forward and backward skip counting by tens, which is an essential numerical skill. It aims to enhance students’ understanding of the base-ten numeral system and to practice addition and subtraction in increments of ten. Through this activity, students will be able to improve their ability to recognize patterns and perform calculations with ease. Moreover, the mix of counting on and counting back sequences prepares students for a broader range of mathematical tasks, including those involving number lines and measurement.
