1st Grade Skip Counting Worksheets

First graders should skip count by 2s, 5s, and 10s within 120 (CCSS 1.NBT.A.1). Skip counting by 2s supports understanding of even and odd numbers. Counting by 5s and 10s helps with telling time and counting money. These patterns also build the foundation for multiplication, as skip counting by 5s is the same as the 5 times table. Students should be able to start counting from different numbers, not only from zero. Worksheets with number patterns where children fill in missing numbers, such as 5, 10, __, 20, __, 30, provide structured practice. Hundred charts where children color every second, fifth, or tenth number make the patterns visual and memorable.
