Free printable skip counting

Skip Counting is a number-pattern worksheet: each row is a chain of circles, and the missing values continue a constant step. This page has six rows of ten circles, with the first six numbers filled in and the last four empty. On this sheet every row increases by two, mixing even starts such as 56 and odd starts such as 35. First- and second-grade students, homeschool math blocks, and anyone reviewing addition patterns use it as focused practice.

You get a high-resolution 6x9 inch PNG of the worksheet and a matching solution that fills the empty circles. Both files are free to download, with no signup required.

How to play

  1. Look at the first six filled circles in a row and find the constant step between them.
  2. Count on by two from the last filled circle; every row on this sheet uses that same step.
  3. Write the next four numbers in the empty circles, keeping that same step.
  4. Repeat for all six rows, then check the solution page if you want to confirm.

Print at 100% scale on letter or A4 paper so the ten-circle rows stay large enough to write in.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the Skip Counting answer key?

A solution image is included with this download. It shows the same six rows with the last four circles filled in, so you can see the completed sequences. Print it on a separate sheet if you want to keep the answers out of sight until the work is done.

Is this Skip Counting worksheet free to print?

Yes. The worksheet and the solution are free high-resolution PNGs. There is no signup, account, or email gate. You may print them for home practice or classroom use as often as you need.

Who is this Skip Counting page for?

It fits children who can already count by ones and are ready to count by twos into the thirties, fifties, and nineties. First-grade and second-grade math lessons are the usual home for it. An adult can sit with a younger child and say the filled numbers aloud until the plus-two pattern clicks.

How do I print this Skip Counting page clearly?

Print at 100% scale on letter or A4 paper in portrait mode so the ten-circle rows do not shrink. Avoid fit-to-page. Black ink keeps the circle outlines and digits sharp enough to write inside.
