Counting in 50s to 500 - Worksheet

This worksheet is a practical tool for teaching students the concept of counting in increments of 50, up to a maximum number of 500. It is designed to help reinforce numerical patterns and the understanding of sequences in mathematics. The worksheet presents a series of number sequences with missing elements, and the task for the students is to identify and fill in the missing numbers that complete the pattern of counting in 50s. This exercise encourages mental arithmetic and enhances students' ability to recognise and continue number sequences.

The worksheet includes several sequences with varied starting points and gaps to challenge students at different levels of proficiency. For example, a sequence might start at 250, followed by 300, with a missing number before or after these given numbers. Students must determine the correct numbers that would come next when counting up or down by 50s. The accompanying answer key provides the correct number sequence completions, such as 350, 100, 450, 250, and so on, ensuring that teachers can quickly check the work of their students for accuracy and offer immediate feedback or additional support where necessary.
