This is a "Count By 2s" worksheet designed to help with skip counting. The task is to fill in the blank circles with the correct numbers in the sequence, starting from 2 and adding 2 each time.
I will solve this by identifying the pattern and filling in all the missing numbers.
Step 1: Understand the Pattern
The title "Count By 2s" indicates that we need to create a sequence of even numbers, where each number is 2 more than the previous one.
- The sequence starts at 2.
- The next number is 2 + 2 = 4.
- Then 4 + 2 = 6, and so on.
Step 2: Fill in the Missing Numbers
I will go row by row to fill in the blanks.
Row 1:
- We have 2, [blank], [blank], 8, [blank].
- After 2 comes 4.
- After 4 comes 6.
- After 8 comes 10.
- So, Row 1 is:
2, 4, 6, 8, 10
Row 2:
- We have [blank], [blank], 16, [blank], [blank].
- To get to 16, we count backwards: 16 - 2 = 14, then 14 - 2 = 12.
- After 16 comes 18, then 20.
- So, Row 2 is:
12, 14, 16, 18, 20
Row 3:
- We have 22, [blank], [blank], [blank], [blank].
- After 22 comes 24, then 26, then 28, then 30.
- So, Row 3 is:
22, 24, 26, 28, 30
Row 4:
- We have [blank], 34, [blank], [blank], [blank].
- Before 34 is 32.
- After 34 comes 36, then 38, then 40.
- So, Row 4 is:
32, 34, 36, 38, 40
Row 5:
- We have [blank], [blank], 46, [blank], [blank].
- Before 46 is 44, then 42.
- After 46 comes 48, then 50.
- So, Row 5 is:
42, 44, 46, 48, 50

Final Answer
Here are all the numbers to fill in the blanks:
*
Row 1: 4, 6, 10
*
Row 2: 12, 14, 18, 20
*
Row 3: 24, 26, 28, 30
*
Row 4: 32, 36, 38, 40
*
Row 5: 42, 44, 48, 50
The complete sequence from left to right, top to bottom is:
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
