Count up in steps of 7

Counting in steps of 7 means adding 7 to a number each time you count. This is a great way to practice your addition skills and learn about patterns. When you count in steps of 7 from 0, you are also finding the numbers in the 7 times table. Look at the boxes below.

0 (this is our starting point)

0 + 7 = 7 (we've added 7 to 0)

7 + 7 = 14 (another 7 added to make 14)

14 + 7 = 21 (another 7 added to make 21)

You can continue adding 7 to the last number to build up the 7 times table.

This topic requires you to supply the missing number in lists that count up in steps of 7. There is one missing number in each list. Some of the missing numbers are in the middle of the lists, some are at the end. The lists count up as far as 70. An example question is:

21, 28, ▢, 42, 49 : answer = 35

The answer is 35 because 28 + 7 = 35 (and 42 - 7 = 35).
