Counting By 10S Practice Activities
Printable Class 1 maths activities that help children count forward by 10s using number charts, patterns, and repeated practice.
Practice that builds confidence
What children learn
These Class 1 maths worksheets help children practise counting by 10s as a clear number chart skill. Learners read, say, write, and continue the sequence 10, 20, 30, 40 and onwards, noticing how the numbers grow in equal jumps.
The printable activities include number chart tasks, missing-number practice, sequence completion, and simple visual patterns that support skip counting. They are useful for building confidence before children use tens in addition, place value, and mental maths.
Counting by 10s teaches children that numbers can increase in equal groups, not only one by one. In these worksheets, Class 1 learners practise the rhythm of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and so on. They also begin to see that the tens digit changes while the ones digit often stays 0 in the basic sequence.
How the skill progresses
Activities usually move from reading a complete sequence to filling missing numbers and then continuing a pattern independently. A number chart helps children connect spoken counting with written numerals. Seeing 10, 20, 30, 40 in order also supports early place value vocabulary such as tens, ones, before, after, next, and between.
A simple parent routine
At home, start by asking your child to clap and count aloud by 10s up to 100. Then point to each number on the worksheet as they say it. After that, cover one number in the sequence and ask, “What comes before it?” or “What comes after it?” Keep the focus on the jump of ten rather than speed.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these printables for maths centres, morning practice, revision after number chart lessons, or quick checks before introducing addition with multiples of 10. They also work well for pair practice: one child reads the sequence while the other checks the missing numbers on a chart.
Common errors to watch for
Some children may count 10, 20, 30, 50 and miss 40, especially when relying only on memory. Others may write numbers like 010 or confuse 60 and 16. Encourage them to look at the tens digit and say the full number carefully. If needed, use bundles of ten sticks or counters to show that each step adds one more group of ten.

Why iBloom worksheets help
The iBloom practice pages keep the focus narrow: counting by 10s within the Number Charts topic for Class 1 maths. The layouts give children enough repetition to remember the pattern, while varied tasks prevent simple copying. A child-friendly strategy is: “Say it, point to it, write it, check the zero.” This helps learners connect sound, position, and numeral form.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What will my Class 1 child practise in these counting by 10s worksheets?
Your child will practise reading, writing, and completing number sequences such as 10, 20, 30, 40 and onwards, mainly through number charts and missing-number activities.
Should children learn counting by 10s before place value?
Counting by 10s is a helpful early step towards place value. It helps children hear and see groups of ten before they formally work with tens and ones in more detail.
How can I help if my child skips a number like 40 or 70?
Ask your child to count slowly while pointing to each number on a chart. You can also show bundles of ten objects so they see that each new number means one more group of ten.
Do these worksheets include counting up to 100?
The practice is centred on the common Class 1 sequence of counting by 10s, such as 10 through 100, using clear chart and sequence formats.
