Skip Counting Introduction — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. back
2. down
3. two
4. four
5. six
6. sock
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Two cats have 4 ears in all together.
Two ears plus two more ears equals four ears total for both cats.
2. Count back by 2s: 10, 8, 6, 4.
Going backward by twos from ten lands on eight before reaching six next.
3. Two pairs of socks equal 4 socks total.
One pair is two socks, so two pairs together make four socks in all.
4. Count back by 2s: 4, 2, 0.
Subtracting two from four gives two, the last number before zero appears.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. Three pairs of socks make a total of six socks.
True False
Two plus two plus two equals six, so three pairs do make six socks.
2. Skip counting backward by 2s from 6 goes 6, 4, 2, 0.
True False
Six minus two is four, four minus two is two, two minus two is zero.
3. Two groups of two stars make five stars in all.
True False
Two plus two equals four stars total, so five is incorrect for this answer.
