Skip Counting by 100s Worksheet, Forward and Backward
Hundreds sequences can trip students up once the numbers push past 1,000, and this skip counting by 100s worksheet tackles exactly that, moving from simple fill-ins to open-ended extension and word problems.
Five numbered sections take your student from the basics through genuine application. Sections one and two use fill-in-the-blank number grids to practice counting forward from 100 to 1,000 and backward from 1,000 to 100. Sections three and four extend those sequences starting at 2,300 and 1,700, which pushes the skill past the familiar hundreds and into the thousands. This homeschool worksheet is well matched to grades 2 through 3.
Section five rounds out the skip counting by 100s worksheet with four word problems that require students to reason about what comes before or after a given number and calculate the result of counting by 100s a set number of times. Those applied questions make this more than rote practice. Your student can work through it independently after a brief introduction to the definition box at the top, or you can use sections three through five as a guided discussion to build number sense alongside fluency.
Hundreds sequences forward and backward: this skip counting by 100s worksheet covers grades 2-3 with five structured problem types.

Usage Notes
Pencil is the right choice here since students will be filling in blank boxes and writing sequences on lines, and corrections are common as the numbers climb higher. Sections three and four work well for independent practice once your homeschooler is comfortable with the grid sections. The word problems in section five reward talking through the reasoning aloud before writing the answer.
Printing Tips
Standard 20 lb copy paper is fine for this sheet. Portrait orientation is set by the layout, so print as-is and consider running a small set if your student needs repeated practice with the sequences before tackling the word problems.
