Missing numbers worksheets

Fill in the number chart, forward or backward

Make a missing numbers page. A number chart runs to 20, 50 or 100 and some of its squares are empty. Your child counts along and writes the numbers that are missing. Leave a few gaps, half, most, or print the chart empty to write every number. A second kind of page counts backward.

How to make your worksheet

  1. Choose a number chart, or rows that count backward.
  2. Choose how far the numbers go: 20, 50 or 100.
  3. Choose how many numbers are missing.
  4. Print. Press “New version” for other gaps.

The hundred chart

On a chart with ten numbers in each row, every number sits under the number that is ten less. Children who fill in the chart a few times start to see that pattern.

Counting backward

Counting down from 10 or from 20 is the first step to taking away. The backward rows give the first numbers and leave gaps further along.

Good questions

Can I print a blank hundred chart?

Yes. Choose 100 and “Every number” to print the chart with only the 1 filled in.

Is there an answer key?

Yes. It shows the full chart, or every backward row.

Can I print in black and white?

Yes. Choose “Black and white” under “Print in”. The page uses very little ink.

Is it free?

Yes, with no sign-up and no limit.
