What each level generates

Grade 1 before, after and between — the exact skill behind each difficulty setting, straight from the generator.

  1. Level 1The number after
  2. Level 2The number before
  3. Level 3The number in between

Grade levels follow the progression common to most English-language curricula — not one specific national curriculum. Every level shows exactly what it generates, so you can check the fit with your own program. See the full scope & sequence →

Frequently asked questions

▸When do kids learn skip counting?

Typically in Grade 1 for 2s, 5s and 10s, with 10s often arriving first because the pattern is loudest. Most curricula treat fluent skip counting as a Grade 1–2 goal and use it as the bridge into multiplication later.

▸What is the difference between the skills and the difficulty levels?

They are two separate choices. The skill decides what kind of question you get, and each one has its own page: Counting Objects, Counting On, Counting Sequences, Skip Counting by 2s, by 5s or by 10s, Before, After and Between, and Ordering Numbers. The three levels then set how hard that one skill is — on Skip Counting by 5s, for instance, they run Count on in 5s, Start anywhere and fill the gaps, then Count back in 5s. Pick the skill your student needs, start where they are solid, and move up one level at a time.

▸How many questions should a Grade 1 counting sheet have?

8–10 works well for a focused five-to-ten-minute session. Set the exact number with the question-count stepper — short daily sheets build fluency faster than long occasional ones.

▸Can I reuse the same worksheet for a re-test or a whole class?

Yes. The web address stores your exact worksheet, so sharing or bookmarking the link reproduces the identical problems and answer key. Press Shuffle instead when you want fresh problems at the same settings.

▸Is this free, and what paper sizes does it print on?

Completely free — no account, no watermark. Pick A4 or US Letter in the controls and the PDF is laid out for exactly that paper, with the answer key on its own final page if you tick the box.
