Skip Counting is a free printable Grade 1 mathematics worksheet that helps students identify and extend number patterns by counting forward in steps of 2, 5, and 10. The 10 multiple-choice questions include missing-number sequences such as 90, 95, 100, 105, ___, 115 and next-number sequences such as 2, 4, 6, ___. Students must determine the interval between terms and use it to select the number that completes each pattern. This worksheet is useful for introducing or reinforcing skip counting, recognizing repeated increases, and building early number-pattern fluency. The questions move across different starting points and ranges, including sequences in the 80s, 90s, 100s, and 120s, so students apply the same reasoning rather than memorizing one sequence. It is available as a free printable worksheet with a complete answer key for independent practice, small-group instruction, homework, or a quick skills check.

FAQs
What does this skip-counting worksheet help Grade 1 students learn?
This Grade 1 mathematics worksheet helps students identify missing and next numbers in sequences that increase by 2, 5, or 10. Its 10 multiple-choice questions require students to find the interval between terms and apply that pattern to sequences such as 95, 100, 105, 110, ___ and 100, 102, 104, ___. Completing these items builds accuracy with skip counting and early number-pattern reasoning.
How can I use this worksheet to teach skip counting?
First, model how to compare consecutive numbers and name the increase—for example, explain that 90, 95, 100, and 105 increase by 5. Then have students identify whether each sequence in the worksheet counts by 2, 5, or 10 before choosing the missing or next number. Ask students to justify an answer by saying the complete pattern aloud, especially for sequences that begin in the 80s, 90s, or 100s.
What mistakes should I watch for on this skip-counting worksheet?
Students may focus on the number’s size instead of checking the constant interval, or choose a distractor that does not preserve the pattern. Watch for confusion between counting by 2 and counting by 5, such as selecting 106 instead of 110 in 100, 105, ___, 115, 120. Students may also overlook whether an item asks for the missing number in the middle or the next number at the end.
How do I assign and grade this skip-counting worksheet?
You can assign this skip-counting worksheet as a printable PDF or as a digital quiz on Wayground. It includes a complete answer key for the 10 multiple-choice questions, and printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app. The printable format can also support schools that are reducing screen time.
How can I differentiate this skip-counting worksheet for my students?
Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing or increase the font size so the multiple-choice sequences and answer choices are easier to follow. You can also apply a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when that supports access to the number-pattern tasks. These options let you present the same missing-number and next-number practice in a more readable format.
