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. 4, 6, 8, 10
Skip counting jumps two at a time, so six plus two gives us eight as the answer.
2. 12, 14, 16, 18
Sixteen plus two equals eighteen, the next even number when skip counting by twos.
3. 4, 6, 8, 10
Going back two from six gives four, which keeps the even skip counting pattern.
4. 14, 16, 18, 20
Fourteen plus two equals sixteen, fitting between fourteen and eighteen perfectly.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. Even numbers like 2, 4, and 6 belong in skip counting by 2s.
True False
Every even number appears in the skip count because each step adds exactly two.
2. When counting by 2s we start with the number 1.
True False
Skip counting by twos starts at two, not one, because one is an odd number.
3. Twenty is the last number when counting by 2s up to 20.
True False
Twenty is even and is the final number reached when skip counting by twos to twenty.
