Description
Counting by tens is one of the first big shortcuts a child meets in math. Once a student can see ten objects as a single group, counting stops being a slow one-by-one job and becomes a quick, confident chant: ten, twenty, thirty. This Counting Tens Worksheet builds that habit two ways at once. First the child counts rows of pictures that are already bundled into tens, then the child carries the same pattern into written number sequences that run all the way to one hundred twenty.
Part A gives three picture items. Each item shows one, two, or three full rows of ten pumpkins, and the child writes how many pumpkins there are in all. Because every row holds exactly ten, the child never has to count the pictures singly; the row itself is the unit. Part B turns the same skill into numbers, with three seven-cell sequences that count by tens. Three numbers are missing from each row, and one row leaves the very first cell blank so the child has to count backward by ten as well as forward. Use it as morning work, as a small-group warm-up, or as a quick check before moving on to adding ten.
What’s Included
- One printable worksheet page for 1st Grade, in color, ready to print
- Part A: three picture items counting rows of ten to ten, twenty, and thirty
- Part B: three skip counting sequences to one hundred twenty, three numbers missing from each
- A full answer key on the final page
- A Name and Date line for easy classroom use
Three reasons this Counting Tens Worksheet helps kids learn to count by tens. It makes the ten visible: the pumpkins are drawn in complete rows of ten, so a child can see the group before naming the number, which is exactly how place value begins. It moves from pictures to numerals in one sitting, so the counting pattern the child says out loud in Part A is the same pattern the child writes in Part B. And it asks the child to count both forward and backward, which is the difference between reciting the tens and really understanding them.
Ideas for teachers and parents: count real objects in tens, such as crayons in bundles or ten pennies at a time, and stop to ask how many are in all. Hop along a number line on the floor, landing only on the multiples of ten. Cover a number on a hundred chart and ask what belongs there. Try this 1st grade skip counting worksheet alongside a tens song so the pattern goes home in the child’s ear as well as on paper. For a challenge, start the count at a number that is not ten and keep the same jump.
