Skip Counting Introduction — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. 2
2. 4
3. 6
4. 8
5. 10
6. 12
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 2, 4, 6, 8
When counting by twos we jump two each time, so four plus two equals six.
2. 6, 8, 10, 12
Skip counting by twos means each step grows by two, so ten plus two is twelve.
3. 2, 4, 6, 8
Going backward by twos from four gives us two as the starting even number.
4. 10, 12, 14, 16
Twelve plus two equals fourteen, keeping the even pattern of skip counting by twos.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. When we skip count by 2s we say 2, 4, 6, 8.
True False
These four numbers are correct because each one is two more than the number before.
2. Skip counting by 2s includes the number 5.
True False
Five is odd and is skipped when we count by twos, so it does not appear.
3. The number after 8 when counting by 2s is 10.
True False
Eight plus two equals ten, which is the next even number in our skip count.
