Skip Counting by 2s

About this worksheet

A free printable skip counting by 2s worksheet with an answer key. Count by 2s and fill in the missing numbers. First graders can do it on their own once they know the strategy at the top of the page. Find the step between two numbers first, then keep going.

Tips for using it

• Say the row out loud to hear the pattern.
• Find the step first: look at two numbers next to each other and find the difference.
• Say the numbers out loud in a rhythm; skip counting is easier to hear than to see.
• Use a hundreds chart: counting by 10s goes straight down a column.
