Skip Counting Worksheets: By 5, 10, and 100
Teach skip counting as repeated equal jumps from the given starting number.
Teaching notes for parents and teachers
How to teach it
Mark 23 on a number line and model jumps of five. Ask the student to continue from 28 rather than starting a familiar sequence from zero.
Example to work through together
Use the model below as you explain the example. Have your student point to the quantities as you discuss them.
Start at 23. Add 5 each time.
23 → 28 → 33 → 38
The differences are all five: 28 − 23 = 5, 33 − 28 = 5, and 38 − 33 = 5. The starting number does not have to end in 0 or 5.
Ask your student
How much did we add between these two numbers?
If your student needs help
If a jump is wrong, return to the last correct number and mark the next jump together.
Choosing and using the worksheet
Each sheet uses six sequences: two adding 5, two adding 10, and two adding 100. Every sequence gives two numbers and leaves two numbers to complete. The sequences stay within 1000 and may start at numbers that are not multiples of the jump.
Make a practice set
Select the worksheet, answer key, or both. When both are selected, the answer key prints after the questions. Keep it separate if you want your student to work independently.
After your student finishes
Ask the child to name the jump and check all three differences in one completed sequence.
