This worksheet gives Grade 1 and Grade 2 students structured practise with skip counting by 2s. Fill-in-the-blank sequences and simple pattern completion all live on one focused page.
How to use this worksheet
Say the sequence out loud together first. Two, four, six, eight, ten. Once your child has the rhythm, let them fill in the blanks. If they get stuck, count on their fingers or use a number queue to jump forward two at a time.
💡 Tip: Sit with your child during the first few questions to make sure they understand the instructions, then let them work independently.
