Skip Counting Worksheets: By 5, 10, and 100

Keep the jump the same each time. Begin at the number shown, even when it is not a multiple of the jump.

Equal jumps make a number sequence

Start at the given number and add the stated amount for every arrow. The second number is already shown to help you check the jump. Continue from that second number to fill the first blank, then continue again to fill the second.

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.

Count by tens using place value

Starting at 184 and adding ten gives 194, 204, then 214. Ten tens regroup as one hundred when you pass 194. The ones remain four, but more than one other digit can change.

Count by hundreds

Starting at 237 and adding one hundred gives 337, 437, then 537. Think of adding another group of one hundred each time. The tens and ones remain the same in this sequence.

Keep the starting point

Counting by five from zero produces multiples of five. Counting by five from 23 produces a different sequence with the same jump. Do not replace the given start with a familiar counting list.

If the child writes the same answer in both blanks: point to the arrows one at a time. Each arrow means another addition. The second blank follows the first blank, not the original starting number.

Check every neighboring pair

Subtract each number from the next. Every difference should equal the requested jump. If one gap is different, return to the previous correct number and add the jump again. Use counters or a number line for a small example before explaining a larger sequence mentally.

About this practice

Each sheet uses six original 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.

This activity practices forward equal jumps. It does not assess counting backward, identifying an unknown rule, or reading every number up to 1000. Particular starting numbers and regrouping cases are not guaranteed in each set.
