Pear Problems

Worksheet Description

The worksheet consists of rows of pear illustrations, each row featuring a sequence of numbers starting from 10 and increasing by tens. Students are tasked with identifying and writing down the missing numbers in each sequence to practice skip counting. Each row starts and ends with a given number, but has missing numbers in between that the students must calculate and fill in. There’s a section at the bottom for students to circle a smiley face to indicate how they felt about their success with the activity.

The worksheet’s primary objective is to help students practice and master skip counting by tens, an important mathematical skill that lays the groundwork for understanding multiplication and place value. By completing the sequences, students reinforce their ability to recognize patterns and improve their counting accuracy. The activity also encourages mental calculation as students deduce the missing numbers without the need to count individually. Furthermore, the self-assessment smiley faces at the bottom teach students to reflect on their performance and engage in self-evaluation.
