Teaching tips and what to try next

Kindergarten asks for counting to 100 by ones and by tens, and counting on from a number other than 1. Practice the tens with a quick chant (10, 20, 30...) and then start counting by ones from 46 or 73 instead of 1. To see these patterns in a grid, use Hundred Chart: Fill In the Missing Numbers 1-100; for tens and ones as place value, go to Place Value: Tens and Ones.

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

By the end of kindergarten, children are expected to count to 100 by ones and by tens, and to count forward from any number instead of always starting at 1. This kindergarten worksheet practices both skills with short number paths that fit on one page.

The top section has four rows that count by tens, such as 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, with two numbers missing in each row. Every row starts at a different ten, so children hear the pattern again and again: twenty, thirty, forty. The bottom section has six rows that count on by ones from a number anywhere up to 95, with three boxes to fill in. The first box is always filled in, so your child always has a place to start. The ten versions use new starting numbers and new gaps.

How to use it: say the counting-by-tens rows out loud together first, tapping each box. For the counting-on rows, point to the first number and ask, "What comes next?" Children who get stuck can use a hundred chart, a number line, or fingers to count up. Pay special attention to rows that cross a new ten, such as 38, 39, 40, 41, because that is where most counting mistakes happen. Finish with a quick game: you say a number and your child counts on three more.

The answer key lists every missing number. For more practice, try our Hundred Chart Missing Numbers 1-100 worksheet or our Missing Numbers 1-20 worksheet.
