Hopscotch Numbers

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a series of numbered lily pads in a sequence with missing numbers in between. The students’ task is to trace a dotted line from one lily pad to the next, filling in the missing numbers along the way. Each row increases in difficulty, with larger numbers and more varied intervals. The visual theme of lily pads suggests a frog hopping from one to the next, making the exercise engaging and thematic.
