Part 1: Skip Count by 2s, 5s, and 10s
####
1. Skip count by 2s
We are given:
- 2, 4, 6, ___, ___

Part 2: Counting by 2s – Fish in Bowls
Each bowl has
2 fish.
We need to count the total number of fish by skip counting by 2s:
- Bowl 1: 2 fish →
2
- Bowl 2: 2 more → 2 + 2 =
4
- Bowl 3: 2 more → 4 + 2 =
6
- Bowl 4: 2 more → 6 + 2 =
8
- Bowl 5: 2 more → 8 + 2 =
10
So, fill in:
-
2, 4, 6, 8, 10
✔ Answer: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10

Part 3: Counting by 5s – Fish in Bowls
Each bowl has
5 fish.
Skip count by 5s:
- Bowl 1: 5 fish →
5
- Bowl 2: 5 more → 5 + 5 =
10
- Bowl 3: 5 more → 10 + 5 =
15
- Bowl 4: 5 more → 15 + 5 =
20
- Bowl 5: 5 more → 20 + 5 =
25
✔ Answer: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25

✔ Final Answers:
####
1. 8, 10
####
2. 15, 20, 25, 30
####
3. 30, 40, 50, 60
####
Counting by 2s (fish): 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
####
Counting by 5s (fish): 5, 10, 15, 20, 25

🔍 Explanation:
-
Skip counting means counting by a fixed number (like 2, 5, or 10) instead of one at a time.
- It helps build number sense and is useful for multiplication and real-life situations like counting money or items in groups.
- In the fish problems, since each bowl has the same number of fish, you can multiply the number of bowls by the fish per bowl, but here we're practicing skip counting.
