Skip Counting By 20 Practice Activities
Class 2 maths worksheets that help children practise skip counting by 20 through number patterns, missing numbers, and count-on activities.
Practice that builds confidence
Build the idea of 20 more
These Class 2 maths worksheets help children practise skip counting by 20, so they learn to move from one number to the next by adding two tens. Children see patterns such as 20, 40, 60, 80 and also learn that the same rule can continue from other starting numbers.
The printable activities include number sequences, missing-number tasks, count-on practice, and simple pattern work. They are useful for building fluency before children meet repeated addition, grouping, mental maths, and larger number patterns.
Skip counting by 20 is more than chanting numbers. Children learn that each jump adds 20, or two groups of ten. This strengthens place value because the tens digit changes in a clear pattern while the ones digit often stays the same, as in 14, 34, 54, 74.
Practice that grows step by step
The worksheets begin with familiar forward counting patterns such as 20, 40, 60, 80. They then move towards filling missing numbers, continuing a sequence, and checking whether a number belongs in the pattern. Some questions may ask children to start from a given number, helping them understand the rule rather than memorising only one list.
A simple parent routine
At home, first ask your child to say the numbers aloud while pointing to each space. Then ask, “What did we add?” Encourage them to write +20 above the jump. Use everyday examples such as counting bundles, packets, or groups of 20 objects. End with one quick challenge: give a starting number and ask for the next three numbers.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these printables for maths warm-ups, small-group practice, independent work, or revision after teaching skip counting. They also work well in centres: one child reads the sequence, another fills the blanks, and a partner checks by adding two tens each time. The sheets can support learners who need extra place-value practice before moving to multiplication ideas.
Common errors and a child-friendly strategy
Watch for children adding 2 instead of 20, writing numbers out of order, or changing the ones digit when it should remain the same. A helpful strategy is: “Keep the ones, jump two tens.” Children can draw small jumps on a number line or say, “20 more” before writing the next number.

What does skip counting by 20 mean for Class 2 children?
It means counting forward by adding 20 each time. For example, 20, 40, 60, 80 follows the rule of adding two tens at every step.
Should children memorise the 20s sequence first?
They can learn the familiar sequence, but they should also understand the rule of adding 20. This helps them continue patterns from different starting numbers, not just from 20.
How can I help my child if they keep counting by 2 instead of 20?
Ask them to say “two tens more” before writing the next number. You can also show 20 as two groups of ten so they see the difference between adding 2 ones and adding 20.
