Equal jumps, connected numbers

Skip-counting worksheets

Keep one step constant as a row continues. Choose familiar small jumps, control the start and direction of each row, or connect equal jumps with the first twelve multiples of a times table.

Choose a sequence
3+36+39+312
Keep the same jump between neighboring terms.

Three ways to choose the numbers

The starting-band and custom cards open expanded twelve-row profiles on the existing activity pages. The original ten-row formats and their printable editions remain available there.

Twelve custom skip-counting rows

Set twelve independent starts and steps, including descending sequences. Leave a start blank for a reproducible nonnegative start, or enter zero explicitly.

Skip counting

Times-table skip counting

Complete twelve multiples for each selected table from 2 through 12. Keep the first three clues together, or scatter the three clues across the row.

Start with a step the learner can model

Group counters or make equal hops on a number line. After the learner can add the step, use clues at the beginning of a row. Mixed clue positions add the challenge of working backward and checking a gap between known values.

Keep the original supported format

The original ten-row worksheet leaves three blanks per row in its standard setting. Choose step two and end blanks for a supported lesson.

Choose a starting band

The expanded profile has eight terms per row and three clues. The selected band limits the first term; later numbers can exceed the band or 99.

Link jumps to multiplication

Use twos, fives and tens after equal groups are familiar. Each table gets one row of twelve multiples.

Separate the start from the step

The start tells where a row begins. The step tells how much changes each time. In the twelve-row custom profile, a blank start chooses a reproducible number from zero through 99; entering zero fixes the start at zero. A negative step makes the row decrease and can take it below zero.

Each row keeps its entered settings and its position. Choose signed values only after negative numbers are understood. Starting limits do not limit later terms.

Is it still the same step?

Check every pair of neighboring terms. A times-table sequence always advances by the table number, while alternating numerical rules can change the operation at each gap. Use the Patterns collection when finding a repeating operation rule is the intended skill.
