Teaching tips and what to try next

Suited to kindergartners who can count to 20 by ones and are ready to hear the tens pattern. Bundles of ten craft sticks held together with a rubber band let children see that each new number adds one more bundle, which keeps the counting from becoming a memorized chant. Move on to Counting to 100 by Ones and Tens or try a different step with Counting by 5s to 100.

10 versions, each with its own answer key

Same skill and layout, a fresh set of problems in every version, so children can keep practicing without repeating a page. Problems are not repeated between versions unless a skill has only a small number of possible problems (for example, the addition facts within 10).

About this worksheet

Kindergartners are expected to count to 100 by ones and by tens. Counting by tens is the quicker of the two, and it is often the first skip counting pattern children learn. It also builds place value, since each number is one more ten. This kindergarten worksheet gives ten rows of practice counting by 10s to 100.

Each row shows six boxes that count on by tens. A row starts at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50, so every row stays at 100 or below. The first box is always filled in, and two of the other boxes are empty. Children say the pattern, find the missing numbers and write them in the boxes. Each of the ten versions has a new mix of rows and its own answer key.

How to use it: count by tens out loud together before starting, holding up both hands for every ten. Point out that every number in the pattern ends in zero, and that the first digit goes up by one each time: 10, 20, 30. That gives your child a way to check each answer. If a row starts at 30 or 40, have your child say the first number and then keep going, instead of starting back at 10. A hundred chart is a helpful picture too, since the tens all sit in the last column.

The answer key shows every missing number. For counting by ones and tens together, try our Counting to 100 by Ones and Tens worksheet. When tens feel easy, try our Counting by 5s to 100 worksheet.
