Worksheet Description

This worksheet displays rows of apples, each row labeled with a letter from ‘a’ to ‘f’, with each row starting with a specific number that is a multiple of ten. Students are tasked with counting by tens and writing the subsequent numbers on the apples in each row to complete the sequence. The starting numbers vary across the rows, providing students with practice in skip counting from different points within the ten times table. At the bottom, there’s a section where students can indicate how they felt about the activity by circling one of three emoticon faces.

The worksheet’s purpose is to teach students how to count by tens from various starting points, reinforcing their understanding of the base-ten number system. It aims to improve numerical fluency and help students recognize and predict patterns in sequences of numbers. This skill is foundational for mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, and early multiplication. The self-assessment section at the bottom encourages children to reflect on their comfort and proficiency with the skill they’ve practiced.
