A counting fluency worksheet for Year 1 maths. Pupils fill in missing numbers in sequences, starting within 20, then moving forwards and backwards to 100, and finally crossing 100 in a timed challenge. Every sequence is completed in the answer key. It covers the England National Curriculum objective on counting to and across 100.
Number — number and place value
“Count to and across 100, forwards and backwards, beginning with 0 or 1, or from any given number”
The sequences build from within 20 up to crossing 100 in both directions.
Number — number and place value
“Identify and represent numbers using objects and pictorial representations including the number line, and use the language of: equal to, more than, less than (fewer), most, least”
Missing-number tracks work like sections of a number line.
Short sequences like 4, 5, 6 with one number missing.
Ascending and descending sequences such as 41, 40, 39.
Timed sequences that cross the 100 boundary, including counting back from 102.
All missing numbers shown for fast marking.
Fluency practice
Use as a weekly counting fluency slot, timing the challenge section.
