About this resource
Description
Counting by tens from any number is a big step for first graders. Most children learn to chant 10, 20, 30, but the real skill is starting at a number like 25 or 67 and finding the number that is ten more or ten less. This counting by tens what comes next worksheet gives students that practice in a clear, friendly layout, so they learn that only the tens digit changes when they add or take away ten.
The worksheet has two parts. In the first part, students count on by tens. Each row starts at a number that is not a decade, and children fill in the missing boxes to show what comes next. In the second part, students count back by tens, writing the number that comes ten before. Every answer goes into a printed box, so the page stays neat and easy to check. Use it as morning work, a math center, homework, or a quick check after a lesson on the hundred chart. This first grade counting by tens worksheet pairs well with base ten blocks, so children can add or remove a rod as they work.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- 4 count-on-by-tens rows and 3 count-back-by-tens rows
- 21 answer boxes with a full answer key
This counting by tens what comes next worksheet helps kids in three ways. First, it builds place value sense, because children see that 41, 51, 61 and 71 all end in the same ones digit. Second, it prepares them for mental math, since adding or taking away ten in their heads is a core first grade standard. Third, counting both forward and backward makes kids flexible with numbers instead of relying on one memorized chant.
Teachers and parents can extend the practice in fun ways. Point to any number on a hundred chart and ask what number is ten more or ten less. Play a hop game on a floor number path where each jump is worth ten. Use dimes to count on by tens from a handful of pennies. At home, ask your child to count back by tens from their house number or from the number of days left until a holiday.
