Choose your practice
Choose counting by 1, by 2 or by 5. Every row has one missing number; this activity uses numbers rather than picture themes.
Say the sequence aloud together before asking the child to write the missing number.
Changing the practice level creates a fresh version. For another sheet at the same level, use the New practice sheet button. Save the settings link or add the sheet to a pack to keep that version. Tracing keeps the same correct forms and varies their arrangement or path lengths.
Age guidance is approximate. Print on A4 or US Letter paper. The instructor key follows the same worksheet options and paper size.
