Skip Counting by 2s, 5s and 10s Worksheets
Rows of eight boxes counting by twos, fives or tens, with three boxes left empty for the student to fill. The gaps land anywhere after the first box, so the pattern has to be carried forward and sometimes backward. Sequences do not always start at the step itself: a row might run 15, 20, 25 or 6, 8, 10. Second grade in most programs, first grade for the tens.

FAQ
Why do some rows start in the middle?
Because counting by fives from 15 is a different skill from reciting 5, 10, 15 from the start, and the one that gets tested. About half the rows start at the step, half further along.
Do the downloads include answer keys?
Yes, every PDF ends with a key page that repeats the layout with the answers in green. Turn the Answer key switch off for a problems-only file.
Can I get different versions for each student?
Turn on the 5 versions switch before downloading. You get five different sheets in one PDF, each with its own answer key, so neighbouring desks cannot copy.
Are the missing boxes always at the end?
No, they can be anywhere after the first box, including two in a row. Filling a gap between two known numbers checks understanding rather than memory.
Can kids do these on a tablet?
Yes. Practice online puts a pen tool over the same sheet, so answers (or clock hands) can be drawn with a finger or stylus and wiped for another try.
