Worksheet Description

The worksheet is composed of several rows of cloud-like shapes, each row labeled with a letter from ‘a’ to ‘f’ and each initiated with a distinct multiple of ten. The exercise instructs students to count by tens and fill in the missing numbers on the clouds in each row. These starting numbers are strategically placed to offer practice in skip counting by tens from different starting points within the sequence of tens. At the bottom of the worksheet, students have the opportunity to assess their own performance by circling one of three faces that range from a frown to a smile.

The educational intent of this worksheet is to strengthen students’ skills in skip counting by tens, an essential component of numerical understanding and arithmetic proficiency. By engaging with this exercise, students not only practice counting in increments of ten but also enhance their ability to recognize and generate number patterns. This foundational skill supports the development of their mathematical abilities, particularly in preparation for learning multiplication and division. Moreover, the self-assessment section at the end promotes self-awareness and encourages students to reflect on their learning experience.
