Skip Counting by 8s Worksheet, Five Exercise Types
Eights are deceptively tricky, and this skip counting by 8s worksheet pushes past rote drills into word problems and counting sets your student actually has to think through.
Five numbered sections keep your student moving through multiples of eight in genuinely different ways. The first two exercises present a row of boxes where 8 and 16, or 0 and 8, anchor the sequence and your student fills in every missing value up to 80 or 72. Section three asks for the next three numbers from three partial sequences, section four has students circle how many numbers appear in a given skip-counting set, and section five closes with word problems: crayons in boxes and books on shelves, both solved by skip counting. Suited for grades 2-3 in a homeschool math curriculum.
Add this skip counting by 8s worksheet during a multiplication readiness unit or alongside a lesson on equal groups. The first four sections work well for independent practice once your homeschooler understands the concept, while the word problems reward a quick guided read-through together before your student works the answer lines solo. Completing the sheet builds fluency with multiples of eight and connects repeated addition to real quantities.
Eights in sequence, in word problems, and in number sets: this skip counting by 8s worksheet covers grades 2-3 math thoroughly.

Usage Notes
A pencil works best here so your student can self-correct the sequence boxes without a mess. The word problem boxes include a blank work space, so encourage showing the skip-counting steps rather than jumping straight to the answer line. Works well for independent practice after a brief guided introduction to the concept.
Printing Tips
Portrait orientation is already set and fits a standard sheet without scaling. Running two or three copies at once lets siblings or co-op students each work their own page, and 24 lb paper holds up better than copy-weight stock if your student erases frequently.
