To solve this worksheet, we need to count by twos. This means we start at a number and add 2 to get the next number (skip counting: 2, 4, 6, 8...).
The circles are arranged in rows. Let's fill them in row by row, reading from left to right. We will continue the count from the end of one row to the beginning of the next.
Row 1:
* Starts with
2.
* Next is $2 + 2 = \mathbf{4}$.
* Next is $4 + 2 = \mathbf{6}$.
* The next circle has
8 (this matches our count).
* Next is $8 + 2 = \mathbf{10}$.
* The next circle has
12 (matches).
* Last one is $12 + 2 = \mathbf{14}$.
* *Row 1 numbers:* 2,
4,
6, 8,
10, 12,
14.
Row 2:
* Continue from 14. Next is $14 + 2 = \mathbf{16}$.
* The next circle has
18 (matches).
* Next is $18 + 2 = \mathbf{20}$.
* Next is $20 + 2 = \mathbf{22}$.
* The next circle has
24 (matches).
* Next is $24 + 2 = \mathbf{26}$.
* Last one is $26 + 2 = \mathbf{28}$.
* *Row 2 numbers:*
16, 18,
20,
22, 24,
26,
28.
Row 3:
* Continue from 28. Next is $28 + 2 = \mathbf{30}$.
* Next is $30 + 2 = \mathbf{32}$.
* The next circle has
34 (matches).
* Next is $34 + 2 = \mathbf{36}$.
* Next is $36 + 2 = \mathbf{38}$.
* Next is $38 + 2 = \mathbf{40}$.
* The last circle has
42 (matches).
* *Row 3 numbers:*
30,
32, 34,
36,
38,
40, 42.
Row 4:
* Continue from 42. Next is $42 + 2 = \mathbf{44}$.
* Next is $44 + 2 = \mathbf{46}$.
* Next is $46 + 2 = \mathbf{48}$.
* The next circle has
50 (matches).
* Next is $50 + 2 = \mathbf{52}$.
* Next is $52 + 2 = \mathbf{54}$.
* Last one is $54 + 2 = \mathbf{56}$.
* *Row 4 numbers:*
44,
46,
48, 50,
52,
54,
56.
Row 5:
* Continue from 56. Next is $56 + 2 = \mathbf{58}$ (matches the printed number).
* Next is $58 + 2 = \mathbf{60}$.
* Next is $60 + 2 = \mathbf{62}$.
* Next is $62 + 2 = \mathbf{64}$.
* The next circle has
66 (matches).
* Next is $66 + 2 = \mathbf{68}$.
* Last one is $68 + 2 = \mathbf{70}$.
* *Row 5 numbers:* 58,
60,
62,
64, 66,
68,
70.
Row 6:
* Continue from 70. Next is $70 + 2 = \mathbf{72}$ (matches the printed number).
* Next is $72 + 2 = \mathbf{74}$.
* Next is $74 + 2 = \mathbf{76}$.
* Next is $76 + 2 = \mathbf{78}$.
* Next is $78 + 2 = \mathbf{80}$.
* The next circle has
82 (matches).
* Last one is $82 + 2 = \mathbf{84}$.
* *Row 6 numbers:* 72,
74,
76,
78,
80, 82,
84.
Row 7:
* Continue from 84. Next is $84 + 2 = \mathbf{86}$.
* Next is $86 + 2 = \mathbf{88}$.
* The next circle has
90 (matches).
* Next is $90 + 2 = \mathbf{92}$.
* Next is $92 + 2 = \mathbf{94}$.
* Next is $94 + 2 = \mathbf{96}$.
* Last one is $96 + 2 = \mathbf{98}$.
* *Row 7 numbers:*
86,
88, 90,
92,
94,
96,
98.
Final Answer:
Here are the missing numbers to write in the circles, listed row by row from left to right:
Row 1: 4, 6, 10, 14
Row 2: 16, 20, 22, 26, 28
Row 3: 30, 32, 36, 38, 40
Row 4: 44, 46, 48, 52, 54, 56
Row 5: 60, 62, 64, 68, 70
Row 6: 74, 76, 78, 80, 84
Row 7: 86, 88, 92, 94, 96, 98
