About this resource
Description
The Count Tens Fill in the Blank Worksheet helps first graders master skip counting by tens, one of the most important early number-sense skills. When children count by tens, they discover how numbers grow in a steady, predictable pattern, which builds a strong foundation for place value, mental math, and adding larger numbers later on. This count tens fill in the blank worksheet gives students focused practice writing the missing numbers so the pattern of tens becomes automatic.
This 1st grade counting worksheet presents eight number patterns that count forward by tens. Each row shows part of a sequence with several numbers replaced by open boxes, and students write the missing values to complete the pattern. To use it, have children read the numbers that are shown, figure out the counting rule, and fill each blank by adding ten to the number before it. A completed answer key is included so checking work is quick and easy.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 8 count-by-tens fill-in-the-blank patterns
There are three big reasons this resource works. First, the fill-in-the-blank format keeps students actively thinking instead of just reading, so they truly internalize the pattern of tens. Second, the varied starting points, including patterns that begin at five, stretch children beyond simple memorization and build flexible counting. Third, the clean, colorful layout makes the Count Tens Fill in the Blank Worksheet approachable and confidence-building for young learners.
Teachers and parents can extend the skill in many playful ways. Count by tens out loud together while clapping or jumping, use a hundreds chart to highlight the tens column, or line up ten-frames and stacks of ten counters to show each jump of ten. Skip counting songs and quick counting games in the car also make practice fun. Pair this worksheet with hands-on activities so children see, hear, and feel the pattern of tens.
