Counting in 6s to 72 - Worksheet

The 'Counting in 6s to 72' worksheet is a mathematics teaching resource designed to help students practice and reinforce their skills in counting in increments of six. The worksheet presents a sequence of numbers where students are required to fill in the missing values. This exercise begins with the number 6 and continues up to 72, ensuring that learners become familiar with the six times table and can confidently identify the pattern of numbers when counting in sixes. The worksheet includes a series of partially filled sequences, such as '12, 18, __, 30, 36' and '0, __, 12', where students must determine the missing numbers that complete the pattern.

The accompanying answer key provides the solutions to the missing numbers in the sequence, allowing for self-assessment or for teachers to check the students' work efficiently. The correct answers include numbers like 24, 42, 6, 54, and 60, which fit into the sequences to maintain the pattern of counting in sixes. For example, in a sequence starting with '12, 18', the missing number before '30' would be '24'. This exercise is an effective way to strengthen mental arithmetic skills and to help students become more comfortable with multiplication and number sequences. The worksheet is suitable for classroom use, homework assignments, or as a practice tool for students developing their numerical proficiency.
