This medium worksheet focuses on backward counting alongside pattern matching. Nine fill-in-the-blanks practice count-back sequences like 20, 18, 16, ___ and 100, 90, 80, ___, plus mid-sequence gaps such as 30, 28, ___, 24, 22 and 200, 190, 180, ___. The matching task pairs starting prompts like Start at 6, count by 3s and Start at 20, count by 5s with the right sequence. Counting backward strengthens subtraction fluency and number-line thinking, two skills second graders lean on for time, money, and the take-away word problems they meet every week.

3. Count backward by 10s: 100, 90, 80, 70.
4. Count by 3s: 12, 15, 18, 21.
5. Count backward by 3s: 30, 27, 24, 21.
6. Count by 5s: 55, 60, 65, 70, 75.
7. Count backward by 2s: 30, 28, 26, 24, 22.
8. Count by 10s: 130, 140, 150, 160, 170.
9. Count backward by 10s: 200, 190, 180, 170.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
Start at 6, count by 3s
→ 6, 9, 12, 15
20, 25, 30, 35
Start at 10, count by 2s
→ 10, 12, 14, 16
10, 12, 14, 16
Start at 30, count by 10s
→ 30, 40, 50, 60
6, 9, 12, 15
Start at 20, count by 5s
→ 20, 25, 30, 35
