Skip Counting by 25 Worksheets

If you need skip counting by 25 worksheets that you can print right now, this page builds them for you — 20 fresh problems, an answer key underneath, and no account to create first. The version loaded below opens with items in the shape of 150, 175, 200, □, □ and 75, 100, 125, □, □; the key lists 225, 250 and 150, 175 next to their question numbers.

📄 SKIP COUNTING BY 25 — A NEW SHEET EVERY TIME YOU PRESS THE BUTTON
🎲 New set of problems

‘New set of problems’ opens the generator in its own tab. There you can change the problem count and turn the answer key on or off. ‘Print or save as PDF’ opens the print dialog — choose Save as PDF in the printer list to keep the file. The sheet fits US Letter and A4, and the answer key prints on its own page.

What the sheet contains

The pattern is what matters here, not the arithmetic. Children who can extend 75, 100, 125, □, □ without adding each step have internalised the step size, and that is the point at which the matching table becomes easy.

Counting on from an arbitrary start, as 150, 175, 200, □, □ does, is measurably harder than starting from zero, and it is the version that transfers to mental arithmetic later.

Each row asks for two more terms — 225, 250 completes 150, 175, 200, □, □ — so the step has to be applied twice and the second one cannot be luck.

Sequences here start from varied points rather than always from the step size, which is what stops the exercise from becoming a recitation — see 75, 100, 125, □, □.

Work of this kind is commonly aligned with the counting sequence and multiplication readiness expectations for this grade; schools outside the US meet the same skill at roughly the same age, which is why these skip counting by 25 worksheets travel well.

Six problems from the sheet in front of you

These six come from the sheet loaded on this page. Press the button and the numbers change, but the shape stays the same (steps of 25).

A worked example from this sheet

Work 125, 150, 175, □, □ out loud as a demonstration. It gives 200, 225. Children who hear 125, 150, 175, □, □ reasoned through once at the start of a session make noticeably fewer errors in the ten minutes that follow.

Here is one worked through. 75, 100, 125, □, □ gives 150, 175. If your child arrives somewhere other than 150, 175 on 75, 100, 125, □, □, look at the working rather than the answer: nearly every wrong result comes from a skipped step, not an unknown fact.

Three things that go wrong here

Getting the most out of 10 minutes a day

  1. Do not raise the number of problems until the accuracy is steady. Going from 20 correct-but-slow problems to more problems only multiplies the same mistake.
  2. Run the sheet at the same time each day. Ten focused minutes before dinner beats an hour on Sunday, because counting in twenty-fives is a recall skill: 150, 175, 200, □, □ has to arrive without being worked out, and recall is built by frequency.
  3. Read the first two problems out loud together before starting the clock. It costs fifteen seconds and removes most of the 'I did not understand the question' errors.
  4. Use a pencil, not a pen. Children working on counting in twenty-fives rethink far more often when erasing is allowed, and you get to see exactly where the rethinking happened on an item like 100, 125, 150, □, □.
  5. Stop the session at the time limit even if the sheet is unfinished, and note where the child got to. A half sheet done well is better data than a whole sheet rushed.

About the answer key

Answers appear next to their question numbers, so a wrong item like 75, 100, 125, □, □ can be found in the key in a second and re-worked while it is still fresh.

The key prints on its own page by default. Uncheck the answer-key box before printing if you would rather keep it back and mark the sheet yourself.

Printing and saving as PDF

Portrait orientation is what the sheet is designed for. Landscape works but wastes about a third of the paper, so leave the orientation alone unless you have a reason.

To save these skip counting by 25 worksheets instead of printing them, choose 'Save as PDF' in the printer list. You get the worksheet and the answer key as a single PDF, on Letter or A4 depending on your printer settings.

Frequently asked questions

What comes after this?
The matching times table sheet, and then the missing-number version of the same table. Both are linked below.
Are these worksheets really free?
Yes, completely. The page is supported by advertising, not by subscriptions, so there is no limit on how many skip counting by 25 worksheets you print.
How does skip counting help with times tables?
It gives the child the whole table as a sequence before any individual fact is needed, so the later memorisation has something to hang on; 150, 175, 200, □, □ is that sequence in miniature. Most children who know counting in twenty-fives fluently learn the matching table in days rather than weeks.
How many different sheets can I make?
As many as you want. The numbers are randomised each time, so printing five sheets in a row gives five different sets of 20 problems on the same skill.
