Count forward and backward math games
Welcome to our count forward/count backward math quiz for kids! In this quiz, we will practice counting forwards and backwards from different starting numbers.
First, let’s review the basics of counting. When we count forwards, we start at a certain number and then say each number in order until we reach the end of the counting sequence. For example, if we start at the number 1 and count forwards, we would say “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.”
Counting backwards is the same as counting forwards, but we start at a higher number and then count down to a lower number. For example, if we start at the number 10 and count backwards, we would say “10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.”
Now, let’s practice counting forwards and backwards from different starting numbers. See if you can count forwards and backwards from the following numbers:
- Start at 3 and count forwards: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
- Start at 7 and count backwards: 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
- Start at 10 and count forwards: 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20
- Start at 6 and count backwards: 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
- Start at 12 and count forwards: 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20
Great job! You are now a pro at counting forwards and backwards from different starting numbers. Keep practicing to improve your math skills and become even better at counting. Happy calculating!
