Skip Counting by 10s, 25s and 100s
Counting one by one is slow. Counting in jumps is fast! In this free activity, children skip count by 10s, 25s and 100s and write the missing numbers in each row. Starting at 0, they build number patterns like 0, 10, 20, 30 and 0, 25, 50, 75, then stretch into hundreds.
These are the same jumps we use every day for money, measuring and big numbers. The printable worksheet is simple to use at home or in class, and each new sheet gives a fresh set of rows to solve.
How to play
- Look at the first numbers in the row and work out the jump: 10, 25 or 100.
- Say the pattern out loud, adding the same amount each time.
- Write the missing numbers in the empty boxes.
- Check the row by counting backwards from the last number to the first.
Skip counting in 10s, 25s and 100s is an important bridge between counting and multiplication. As your child works through each row, they notice how the tens digit or hundreds digit changes, which strengthens place value understanding and mental addition with larger numbers. The 25s pattern is especially useful for money, quarters of an hour and reading number lines. Encourage your child to say the pattern aloud, then check it backwards — this builds confidence and catches small slips. A few rows a day is enough. Print a new sheet whenever you need fresh practice, and celebrate the patterns they spot on their own.
