Skip Counting by 5s and 10s Practice
A multi-part practice packet for 2nd graders that builds skip counting fluency by 5s and 10s, with fill-in-the-missing-numbers sequences and visual groups of counters. It also moves into counting coins, both like and unlike, plus adding and subtracting coin values, so students connect skip counting to real money.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a 30-40 minute math center or independent practice after a whole-class introduction to skip counting; have students say each sequence aloud, as the packet suggests, to check their work.
- Discussion question: Why does counting by 5s get you to the same answer as counting each dot one at a time, and how does that help when you count a pile of nickels?
- Scaffold for struggling readers and counters: Provide physical counters or real coins to group, and let students touch each group as they say the number, then move to the number lines once the pattern feels steady.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to count a mixed pile of coins with unlike values, then write two different ways to make the same total using addition and subtraction.
- Estimated time: about 5 minutes for the skip counting sequences, and another 10-15 minutes for the coin counting and adding/subtracting section.
