Counting Forwards or Backwards in Powers of 10 - Worksheet

This set of worksheets is designed to help students practise counting in steps of powers of 10. The exercises vary in complexity, ranging from counting forwards in steps of 10, 100, and 1000, to more challenging sequences such as counting in steps of 10,000 and 100,000. Each worksheet presents a series of numbers where students are expected to continue the pattern by adding the specified power of 10 to the previous number. The sequences are laid out in a clear format, making it easy for students to identify the pattern and apply their understanding of place value and number sequences.

Additionally, the worksheets include activities for counting backwards in steps of powers of 10, which is essential for reinforcing the concept of subtraction and negative number sequences. These exercises also cover steps of 10, 100, 1000, 10,000, and 100,000, requiring students to subtract the given power of 10 from the previous number. To further enhance numerical skills, some sections provide sequences with missing numbers, prompting students to fill in the gaps by counting forwards or backwards in the given steps. Moreover, there is an engaging board game where players roll dice to determine their starting number and move around the board, performing calculations such as adding or subtracting powers of 10 as instructed by the spaces they land on. The aim is to finish with the highest number, adding an element of fun competition to the learning experience.
