Counting in 2s, 5s and 10s - Worksheet

Mathematics worksheets aimed at reinforcing the concept of counting in multiples are a fundamental resource in primary education. One such worksheet series focuses on counting in 2s, 5s, and 10s, encouraging students to continue given number sequences. These sequences are presented in a variety of formats, with the initial numbers laid out, and learners are tasked with determining the subsequent numbers by identifying the pattern of counting. For instance, sequences may start with numbers like 2, 6, 10 or 35, 45, 55, and students have to figure out the next numbers by applying their understanding of counting in multiples of two, five, or ten.

The worksheets not only include sequences to be continued but also offer exercises where students must identify the odd one out in a given sequence. This activity sharpens their ability to recognize patterns and spot inconsistencies. Additionally, the worksheets incorporate engaging challenges such as navigating through mazes by counting forwards or backwards in steps of 2, 5, or 10 and colouring each square along the way. These exercises are designed to be both educational and entertaining, helping to solidify the concept of counting in multiples through interactive learning. Other tasks involve critical thinking where students must determine the truth of statements related to counting patterns and explain their reasoning, further deepening their mathematical understanding.
