Teaching tips and what to try next

Fits second graders who skip count by 5s, 10s and 100s without help, as practiced in Skip Counting by 5s, 10s and 100s. Counting quarters and stacks of coins aloud makes 25s feel familiar quickly. Students who stall on the 20s can say the tens digits as a doubling chant, 2, 4, 6, 8, before tackling the larger rows, and Counting Coins gives real-world coin practice alongside.

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

Second graders learn to skip count by 5s, 10s and 100s within 1,000. Counting by 20s, 25s and 50s is a good next step that builds on those patterns. Counting by 25s is also how children add up quarters, and counting by 50s shows how two halves make each hundred. This second-grade worksheet stretches skip counting to these three steps.

The page has twelve rows of seven boxes: four rows count by 20s, four count by 25s and four count by 50s. Every row starts at a multiple of its step, such as 140, 375 or 600, and stays within 1,000. Three boxes in each row are empty, and children write the missing numbers. The first box is always filled in, so children know where to start. Each of the ten versions has new rows and its own answer key.

How to use it: start each group by counting out loud from 0 together. For 20s, point out that the count is the same as counting by 2s with a 0 on the end: 20, 40, 60. For 25s, lay out a few quarters and count them: 25, 50, 75, 100. Notice that every fourth number is a whole hundred. For 50s, the numbers take turns ending in 50 and in 00. If a row starts at a big number, have your child say the first number and then add the step.

The answer key shows every missing number. For the steps in the standard, try our Skip Counting by 5s, 10s and 100s worksheet. To use the 25s pattern with coins, try our Counting Coins worksheet.
