About this worksheet

Skip counting means counting forward by the same amount each time: by 5s the numbers are 5, 10, 15, 20, and by 100s they are 100, 200, 300. It is the first step toward multiplication, because counting by 4s five times lands on 4 times 5. On this worksheet each row has six numbers that count by the same step, with one number missing, and your child writes the missing number.

Building Confidence counts by 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s and 10s, On Level adds 6s, 25s, 50s and 100s, and Challenge Me counts by 6s through 9s and starts from numbers that are not on the usual count. Ask your child to say the numbers aloud and to find how much each number grows from the one before.

What your child will learn

  • Count forward by the same step
  • Find a missing number in a counting pattern
  • Connect skip counting to multiplication facts

Common Core standard: 3.OA.D.9, 2.NBT.A.2

Worked example

In 3, 6, ?, 12, 15, 18, each number is 3 more than the one before, so the missing number is 9.

Common mistake

Looking only at the next number instead of checking how much each step adds.

Helpful hint

Find how much each number grows by, then use it for the missing one.
