Skip Counting Worksheets

Pick a sheet type, press Make a new sheet for fresh numbers, then print it with its answer key.

12 problems. Mixed 2s, 5s and 10s to 100. Sheet 3E7094, with its answer key.

How it works

Free skip counting worksheets go past one count chanted from the start: 44 sheet types, with 2s, 5s and 10s mixed on one sheet, rows that begin on 13 or 37, rows that count back, and find-the-rule rows.

The six groups

Mixed counts on one sheet makes the pupil read the first two numbers to find the count. One count per sheet covers 13 counts: the 2s to the 12s, 25s and 100s. Start from any number gives rows such as 23, 33, 43. Then come Count back, Across a hundred and What is the rule?

Starts off the count

A child who can chant 5, 10, 15 may stall at 13, 18, 23: the chant is memory, the row is adding. The Common Core asks grade 2 to skip-count by 5s, 10s and 100s within 1,000 and to add or subtract 10 or 100 in the head, which rows from 347 or 846 put on paper.

  • Rows on a mixed sheet take turns in the title's order: 2s, 5s, 10s, then round again. Rule sheets shuffle.
  • Mark the step into the new hundred first: writing 404 after 504 takes away a hundred, not a ten.
  • With 20 problems the type shrinks. Pick fewer problems for pupils who need large print.

Questions and answers

What grade are skip count worksheets for?

The Common Core names skip counting in kindergarten (count to 100 by tens) and in grade 2 (by 5s, 10s and 100s within 1,000). A workable order for any class: 10s, then 5s and 2s, then starts off the count, then counting back.

Is there a skip counting by 2's 5's 10's worksheets pdf?

The sheet that opens first, Mixed 2s, 5s and 10s to 100, puts all three counts on one page, and two harder versions sit beside it. Nothing downloads: press Print and the print dialog can save the sheet as a PDF.

Why do two rows have the same numbers?

Some counts have few places to start: Count by 10s to 100 has only 5 runs. After that a run returns with its gaps moved, and mixed sheets can repeat one too. For all-different rows pick Start from any number or Count back.

Can I print the same sheet again?

Yes. Every sheet has a short code at its foot, and Share link copies a link that rebuilds that exact sheet, answer key included. Your browser also remembers the last sheet made here.

All 44 sheet types

Mixed counts on one sheet 8

  • Every count from 2 to 10 on one sheet Row 1 counts by 2s, row 2 by 3s and so on up to 10s, then the order starts again: 18 rows give every count twice. Nothing goes past 120.
  • Mixed 2s, 5s and 10s from 100 to 200 Rows such as 146, 148, 150, 152, 154, 156 with two numbers left out. The counting is the same as below 100; only the hundreds digit is new.
  • Mixed 2s, 5s and 10s to 100 Rows take turns counting by 2s, 5s and 10s. The first two numbers are always printed, which tells a row of 5s from a row of 10s.
  • Mixed 2s, 5s and 10s with 3 gaps The same three counts to 100 with half of every row missing: a row starts 62, 64 and prints only one of the next four numbers.
  • Mixed 3s, 4s and 6s to 100 Three counts that share numbers: every multiple of 12, from 12 to 96, belongs to all three. The first two numbers of a row show its count.

Mixed counts on one sheet, continued

  • Mixed 5s, 10s and 100s to 1,000 Every row sits between 100 and 1,000, such as 435, 440, 445, 450, 455, 460. A row that reaches 1,000 is printed with semicolons between its numbers.
  • Mixed 6s, 7s, 8s and 9s to 108 The counts behind the 6, 7, 8 and 9 times tables, 3 rows of each on a 12-row sheet. No row goes past 108, which is 12 nines.
  • Mixed 25s, 50s and 100s to 1,000 The counts that go with quarters, half dollars and dollars in cents. A row of 25s runs 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275 with two numbers left out.

One count per sheet 13

  • Count by 2s to 50 Rows of 6 even numbers, such as 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 with two left out. The ones digits repeat 2, 4, 6, 8, 0.
  • Count by 3s to 36 Rows such as 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 with three left out. The digits of every number add up to 3, 6 or 9.
  • Count by 4s to 48 Rows such as 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36 with three left out. The 4s are every second number of the 2s, with ones digits 4, 8, 2, 6, 0.
  • Count by 5s to 100 Rows such as 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 with two numbers left out. An answer that ends in anything but 5 or 0 is wrong.
  • Count by 6s to 72 Rows such as 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48 with three left out. Every number is even and also belongs to the 3s count.
  • Count by 7s to 84 Rows such as 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56 with three left out. The ones digits use every digit once before they repeat, so there is no short pattern to lean on.
  • Count by 8s to 96 Rows such as 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72 with three left out. The ones digits step down by 2 each time: 8, 6, 4, 2, 0.
  • Count by 9s to 108 Rows such as 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72 with three left out. From 9 to 90 the tens digit goes up by 1 while the ones digit goes down by 1.
  • Count by 10s to 100 Rows such as 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 with two left out. Only 5 runs exist, so runs repeat on every sheet, with the gaps in different places.
  • Count by 11s to 132 Rows such as 66, 77, 88, 99, 110, 121 with three left out. Up to 99 both digits match; 110, 121 and 132 are the part to check first.
  • Count by 12s to 144 Rows such as 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96 with three left out. The ones digits repeat 2, 4, 6, 8, 0, as in the 2s count.
  • Count by 25s to 500 Rows such as 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275 with two left out. Every number ends in 25, 50, 75 or 00, and four steps make a full hundred.
  • Count by 100s to 1,000 Rows such as 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800 with two left out. A row can start only on 100 to 500, so the sheet opens with 6 rows.

Start from any number 6

  • Count on by 2s from any number to 100 37, 39, 41 and then three gaps for 43, 45 and 47. About half the rows start on an odd number and stay odd all the way along.
  • Count on by 3s from any number to 100 1, 4, 7 and then three gaps for 10, 13 and 16. About 2 rows in 3 start outside the 3s count, so the pupil has to add 3 each time.
  • Count on by 5s from any number to 100 13, 18, 23 and then three gaps for 28, 33 and 38. The ones digits take turns, here 3 and 8. About 1 row in 5 starts on a 5 or a 0.
  • Count on by 10s from any number to 100 A row reads 23, 33, 43 and then has three gaps for 53, 63 and 73. The ones digit never changes. About 1 row in 12 still starts on a whole ten.
  • Count on by 10s from any number to 1,000 347, 357, 367 and then three gaps for 377, 387 and 397. About half the rows move into the next hundred, as in 478, 488, 498, 508, 518, 528.
  • Count on by 100s from any number to 1,000 146, 246, 346 and then three gaps for 446, 546 and 646. The tens and ones digits never change, and no row goes past 999.

Count back 8

  • Count back by 2s within 100 68, 66, 64 and then three gaps for 62, 60 and 58. The lowest rows run all the way down to 0, as in 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 0.
  • Count back by 5s within 200 115, 110, 105 and then three gaps for 100, 95 and 90. Some rows pass 100 on the way down.
  • Count back by 10s from any number within 100 93, 83, 73 and then three gaps for 63, 53 and 43. The ones digit stays put while the tens digit drops by 1.
  • Count back by 10s from any number within 1,000 432, 422, 412 and then three gaps for 402, 392 and 382. About half the rows move down into a lower hundred, where a tens digit of 0 turns into 9.
  • Count back by 100s from any number 846, 746, 646 and then three gaps for 546, 446 and 346. Only the hundreds digit changes.
  • Count on and back by 2s Half the rows count on and half count back, shuffled: 44, 46, 48 in one row and 30, 28, 26 in another. The first three numbers show which way a row runs.
  • Count on and back by 5s 140, 145, 150 goes on to 155, 160 and 165, while 140, 135, 130 goes back to 125, 120 and 115. Numbers run from 0 to 200.
  • Count on and back by 10s from any number Half the rows add 10 and half take 10 away, mostly from numbers that are not whole tens: 263, 273, 283 in one row and 617, 607, 597 in another.

Across a hundred 4

  • Count back by 10s across a hundred 524, 514 and then four gaps for 504, 494, 484 and 474. It is the sheet for a pupil who writes 404 after 504 when the next number is 494.
  • Count by 2s across a hundred 196, 198 and then four gaps for 200, 202, 204 and 206. In about 8 rows out of 10 the step into the new hundred is left for the pupil. Rows can be odd.
  • Count by 5s across a hundred 285, 290 and then four gaps for 295, 300, 305 and 310. Every row starts between 5 and 25 below a hundred, so it has to reach or pass it.
  • Count by 10s across a hundred from any number 467, 477 and then four gaps for 487, 497, 507 and 517. The tens digit runs up to 9, then drops to 0 as the hundreds digit goes up by 1.

What is the rule? 5

  • What is the rule: 2s, 5s or 10s? Each row prints 4 numbers, such as 30, 35, 40, 45. The pupil writes the next 2, here 50 and 55, and then the rule: count on by 5.
  • What is the rule: 3s, 4s or 6s? 18, 24, 30, 36 goes on to 42 and 48, and the rule is count on by 6. A start such as 12, 24 or 36 fits all three rules.
  • What is the rule: 5s, 10s, 25s or 100s? Rows between 100 and 1,000. 225, 250, 275, 300 goes on to 325 and 350, and the rule is count on by 25.
  • What is the rule: 6s, 7s, 8s or 9s? 28, 35, 42, 49 goes on to 56 and 63, and the rule is count on by 7. The quick way in is to take the first number away from the second.
  • What is the rule: any count from 2 to 12? With 11 rows each rule from 2 to 12 comes up exactly once, shuffled, so a rule that has been used can be crossed off.

How this list was compiled: Own list of sheet types, written 2026-09-19. Every worked example and every share quoted in a description (1 row in 12, 8 rows out of 10 and so on) was worked out by script from the rule of its sheet type, and the script also made 20-row sheets of every type and checked each row against its count. The digit patterns (ones digits of the 2s, 4s, 6s, 7s, 8s and 12s, digit sums of the 3s and 9s) were checked the same way. The wording of the Common Core standards named on the page (K.CC.1, 2.NBT.2, 2.NBT.8) was read on 2026-09-19 in the full text of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, https://learning.ccsso.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/ADA-Compliant-Math-Standards.pdf. The sheets are not an official product of any standards body. Licence: own work
