Teaching tips and what to try next

Suits fourth graders who are steady with the counts in Skip Counting by 6s, 7s and 8s and are starting factor work. Clapping or stepping on each count makes the long rows easier to remember. To use these multiples, list factor pairs in Factors, Multiples, Prime and Composite.

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

Skip counting is a quick way to list the multiples of a number, and multiples are what fourth graders use to find factors, check division and spot number patterns. Counting by 9s, 11s and 12s takes more care than counting by 2s or 5s, because the patterns in the digits are less obvious. This fourth-grade worksheet gives twelve skip counting rows to complete.

There are four rows for each number: 9s, 11s and 12s. Every row has seven boxes and starts at a multiple of that number, such as 27 or 48, and three boxes in each row are empty. The counts stay within twelve times the number, so the largest number on the page is 144. Children fill in the missing numbers by adding the same amount each time, or by counting back from a box that is already filled in. Each of the ten versions has new rows and its own answer key.

How to use it: before starting, look for a shortcut together. Adding 9 is the same as adding 10 and taking away 1, so 36 becomes 46 and then 45. Adding 11 is adding 10 and then 1 more, and adding 12 is adding 10 and then 2 more. When a blank is between two filled boxes, ask your child to check the answer both ways. Saying each row out loud a few times also helps the multiples stick.

The answer key shows every missing number. For smaller steps, try our Skip Counting by 6s, 7s and 8s worksheet. To use multiples to find factor pairs, try our Factors, Multiples, Prime and Composite worksheet.
