Let's solve the
"Skip Counting by 10s!" worksheet step by step.
---
🔹 Understanding the Task
- We are to
skip count by 10s, meaning we add 10 each time.
- There are
10 ice cream cones, and each one represents a number in the sequence.
- Some numbers are already filled in:
- First cone:
10
- Fourth cone:
40
- Seventh cone:
80
We need to fill in the missing numbers, following the pattern of counting by 10s.

🔹 Step-by-Step Skip Counting by 10s
Start from 10 and keep adding 10:
1. 10
2. 20
3. 30
4. 40
5. 50
6. 60
7. 70
8. 80
9. 90
10. 100
So, the complete sequence is:
> 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100
Now let’s assign these numbers to the ice cream cones:
| Cone | Number |
|------|--------|
| 1 | 10 |
| 2 | 20 |
| 3 | 30 |
| 4 | 40 |
| 5 | 50 |
| 6 | 60 |
| 7 | 70 |
| 8 | 80 |
| 9 | 90 |
| 10 | 100 |
Wait — but in the image, the
seventh cone has
80, not 70. Let’s check that again.
Wait! Let’s look at the layout carefully.
The cones are arranged in
two rows of five:
#### Row 1 (Top):
1. 10
2. ___
3. ___
4. 40
5. ___
#### Row 2 (Bottom):
6. ___
7. ___
8. 80
9. ___
10. ___
So the
eighth cone is labeled
80, not the seventh.
Let’s reindex:
- Cone 1: 10
- Cone 2: ?
- Cone 3: ?
- Cone 4: 40
- Cone 5: ?
- Cone 6: ?
- Cone 7: ?
- Cone 8: 80
- Cone 9: ?
- Cone 10: ?
Now skip-count by 10s starting at 10:
1. 10 → Cone 1
✔
2. 20 → Cone 2
3. 30 → Cone 3
4. 40 → Cone 4
✔
5. 50 → Cone 5
6. 60 → Cone 6
7. 70 → Cone 7
8. 80 → Cone 8
✔
9. 90 → Cone 9
10. 100 → Cone 10

🔹 Fill in the Blanks
Now fill in the missing numbers:
- Cone 2:
20
- Cone 3:
30
- Cone 5:
50
- Cone 6:
60
- Cone 7:
70
- Cone 9:
90
- Cone 10:
100

🔹 How Many Sprinkles Are There in All?
Each ice cream cone has
10 sprinkles, and there are
10 cones.
So total sprinkles =
10 cones × 10 sprinkles =
100 sprinkles
✔ Answer:
There are 100 sprinkles in all.
---
✔ Final Answer:
Fill in the blanks:
- Cone 2: 20
- Cone 3: 30
- Cone 5: 50
- Cone 6: 60
- Cone 7: 70
- Cone 9: 90
- Cone 10: 100
Total sprinkles: 100

📝 Summary
- Skip counting by 10s gives: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100
- Each cone corresponds to one number in this sequence
- Total sprinkles = 10 cones × 10 =
100
✔ Answer: There are
100 sprinkles in all.
