What Comes Next? Worksheets for Kindergarten

What your child practices

What Comes Next is a key kindergarten math skill, and these 50 worksheets add up to 900 questions of practice. In the early grades, number sense grows through lots of short, hands on practice, and What Comes Next is one of the building blocks teachers return to all year. Each of the 50 versions of What Comes Next has new questions, so your child can repeat the skill without memorizing answers. The skill matches Common Core K.CC.A.2, the standard for counting, knowing number names and comparing numbers. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Kindergarten. Every PDF prints on US letter paper, with the answer key on page 2 for quick checking. New to the idea? Watch the What Comes Next video lesson, then print a sheet while it is fresh.

Tips for parents

• Keep counters, blocks or fingers nearby. Young children learn numbers best when they can touch them.
• Ask your child to explain one answer out loud. Talking through What Comes Next shows you where the thinking is solid.
• Set a timer for ten minutes and stop when it rings. Short, regular practice beats one long session.
