About this resource

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 ages 7–8 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 maths center or small group activity.

This is also a great worksheet that can be used as a mark 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 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, __, __, 18, 20, 22.

  • Descending number patterns — students fill in gaps in reverse sequences such as 200, __, 180, 170, 160, __.

  • Pattern recognition — students infer a sequence's step size from the given numbers before filling in blanks.
