Counting in 2s worksheet - Free Printable

The task in the image is to count by 2s and fill in the missing numbers in the grid. The numbers are arranged in a pattern where each number increases by 2 from the previous one, forming a sequence of even numbers from 2 to 50.

Let’s go step by step to solve it.

Step 1: Understand the Pattern

We are counting by 2s:
- Start at 2
- Add 2 each time: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, ...

So all the numbers should be even numbers, increasing by 2.

Step 2: Fill in the Missing Numbers

We’ll examine each row:

#### Row 1:
- 2, __, 6, __, 10
- After 2 comes 4 (2 + 2)
- After 6 comes 8 (6 + 2)
- So: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10

#### Row 2:
- 12, 14, __, 18, 20
- After 14 comes 16 (14 + 2)
- So: 12, 14, 16, 18, 20

#### Row 3:
- 22, __, 26, __, 30
- After 22 comes 24 (22 + 2)
- After 26 comes 28 (26 + 2)
- So: 22, 24, 26, 28, 30

#### Row 4:
- 32, 34, __, 38, 40
- After 34 comes 36 (34 + 2)
- So: 32, 34, 36, 38, 40

#### Row 5:
- 42, __, 46, __, 50
- After 42 comes 44 (42 + 2)
- After 46 comes 48 (46 + 2)
- So: 42, 44, 46, 48, 50

Final Answer (Completed Grid):

```
2 4 6 8 10
12 14 16 18 20
22 24 26 28 30
32 34 36 38 40
42 44 46 48 50
```

Summary of Missing Numbers:

- Row 1: 4, 8
- Row 2: 16
- Row 3: 24, 28
- Row 4: 36
- Row 5: 44, 48

✔ All missing numbers have been filled in by counting by 2s.
