About this resource

A missing numbers worksheet is a great way to help children practise counting and develop their number sense and maths skills. The worksheet has a series of numbers from 1 to 10, each one missing a number.

Missing number worksheets can be a useful tool for teachers to assess children’s maths skills and track their progress and understanding. They can help children develop the ability to recognise patterns and rules, as well as improve their mental maths and problem solving skills. Additionally, completing these worksheets can be a fun and engaging way for children to practise their maths skills and build their confidence.

The worksheet can be used in a variety of ways, including whole class, group or independent work or home learning. It is a great resource for parents, teachers, and anyone who works with young children.

These particular missing number worksheets are basic counting to 10 with 2-3 numbers missing per sequence. They also have fun pictures of bubbles and cupcakes to make them more entertaining. These will be most appropriate for children in younger years such as Reception and Year 1 who are learning to count but can also be useful for use with children who have special educational needs.
