Let's solve the problem step by step. The task is to
count by 10s and fill in the missing numbers in each row.
---
1. Count by 10s: Fill in the missing numbers below.
We are counting forward by 10s.
####
1.
`10, __, __, __, 40, __`
- Start at 10
- Add 10 each time:
- 10 → 20 → 30 → 40 → 50
So the sequence is:
10, 20, 30, 40, 50
✔ Answer: `10, 20, 30, 40, 50`
---
####
2.
`__, 40, __, __, 70`
We know it's increasing by 10s.
- Before 40: 40 - 10 =
30
- After 40: 50
- Then 60
- Then 70
So:
30, 40, 50, 60, 70
✔ Answer: `30, 40, 50, 60, 70`

3. Backward skip counting.
Now we count
backwards by 10s.
####
3.
`__, __, 30, __, 10`
Counting backwards from 30:
- 30 → 20 → 10 (but we need two numbers before 30 and one after)
Wait — the pattern is:
__ , __ , 30 , __ , 10
So going
backward, we go from higher to lower:
- After 30 (going backward): 40, 50
- Before 10: 20
So:
- 50, 40, 30, 20, 10
✔ Answer: `50, 40, 30, 20, 10`

4.
`__, 70, __, 50, __`
This is also backward skip counting.
But let’s see:
We have:
__ , 70, __, 50, __
Since we’re skipping by 10s, and going backward:
- After 70: 60
- Before 50: 60? Wait — that doesn't work.
Wait — maybe it's not strictly backward. Let’s check the logic.
Let’s assume it's still
backward skip counting, so decreasing by 10.
But look at the sequence:
_ , 70, _ , 50, _
If we're going backward (from high to low), then:
- Before 70: 80
- Then 70
- Then 60
- Then 50
- Then 40
So:
80, 70, 60, 50, 40
✔ Answer: `80, 70, 60, 50, 40`

5. Fill in the missing numbers below.
Now this section has yellow boxes — likely just continuing the same idea.
####
5.
`__, 20, __, __, __`
We are counting by 10s.
- Before 20: 10
- Then 20
- Then 30
- Then 40
- Then 50
So:
10, 20, 30, 40, 50
✔ Answer: `10, 20, 30, 40, 50`
---
####
6.
`__, __, 60, __, __`
Again, skip counting by 10s.
- Before 60: 50, 40
- After 60: 70, 80
So:
40, 50, 60, 70, 80
✔ Answer: `40, 50, 60, 70, 80`
---
✔ Final Answers:
1. `10, 20, 30, 40, 50`
2. `30, 40, 50, 60, 70`
3. `50, 40, 30, 20, 10`
4. `80, 70, 60, 50, 40`
5. `10, 20, 30, 40, 50`
6. `40, 50, 60, 70, 80`

🔍 Explanation:
-
Skip counting by 10s means adding or subtracting 10 each time.
- In forward counting: increase by 10 (e.g., 10, 20, 30...)
- In backward counting: decrease by 10 (e.g., 50, 40, 30...)
- Always check the known numbers to determine direction and pattern.
