Number Sequences Worksheet by Teach Simple

Product description

From the author

If you want to give students extra practice with skip counting, I have just the resource for you.

What You Get:

This is a Basic Number Sequences Worksheet that is ideal for 2nd grade students who have been introduced to skip counting. There are 8 problems for students to complete and an answer key is included.

How To Implement This Resource:

You can print off enough copies of this worksheet for each student to have. You may also choose to print only a few copies and laminate those. If you choose to laminate them, students can use dry erase markers to write answers. This is a great way to turn this into a math center or small group activity.

This is also a great worksheet that can be used as a grade or even sent home for homework because it won’t take students long to complete.

It can be used during or after a skip counting lesson as a quick informal assessment to determine how well students are grasping the concept.

I hope you enjoy!

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Identify the step size (interval) of a given number sequence
Fill in missing numbers in ascending sequences counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s
Fill in missing numbers in descending sequences counting back by 2s, 5s, and 10s

Teaching tips

Use as a quick warm-up or formative check since it covers multiple skip-counting intervals in one sitting.
Have students state the step size out loud before filling in each sequence to reinforce the reasoning, not just the answer.
Pair with a number line or hundreds chart for students who need a visual aid to find the missing values.

Skills covered

Skip counting by twos, fives, and tens — students complete ascending sequences such as 6, 8, __, __, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22.
Descending number patterns — students fill in gaps in reverse sequences such as 200, __, __, __, 160, 150.
Pattern recognition — students infer a sequence's step size from the given numbers before filling in blanks.
