Step-by-step solution for: Grade 2 Math Number Practice worksheets - Skip Counting by 4
Let’s solve each row by skip counting by 4s. That means we add 4 to each number to get the next one.
We’ll go row by row and fill in all the missing numbers.
---
Row 1: Start at 72, then 74, 76...
Wait — hold on! The title says “Skip Counting by 4’s”, but look at Row 1:
72 → 74 → 76… that’s adding 2 each time!
That can’t be right. Let me check the other rows.
Row 2: 212 → 214 → 216 → also +2
Row 3: 860 → 864 → 868 → that’s +4! ✔
Row 4: 536 → 540 → 544 → +4 ✔
Row 5: 700 → 704 → 708 → +4 ✔
Row 6: 344 → 348 → 352 → +4 ✔
Row 7: 956 → 960 → 964 → +4 ✔
Row 8: 708 → 712 → 716 → +4 ✔
So Rows 1 and 2 are actually skip counting by 2s? But the worksheet says “by 4’s”.
Wait — maybe it’s a typo in the first two rows? Or maybe I misread?
Look again:
Row 1: 72 (START), 74, 76 → difference is 2
But if we’re supposed to count by 4s, it should be 72, 76, 80...
Hmm. Maybe the START label is under 72, but the sequence is meant to start from there and go by 4s? But they wrote 74 and 76 already.
This is confusing. Let me re-read the instruction:
“Hop and fill-in the missing numbers.”
And the box says “Skip Counting by 4’s”
Perhaps the first two numbers after START are given to show the pattern? But in Row 1, 72 to 74 is +2, not +4.
Wait — unless... maybe it's a mistake in the worksheet? Or perhaps I need to ignore the second and third numbers and just start from START and add 4 each time?
But that doesn’t make sense because they gave us 74 and 76.
Alternative idea: Maybe “START” is just labeling the first box, and the sequence is supposed to continue the pattern shown.
In Row 1: 72, 74, 76 → clearly +2
Row 2: 212, 214, 216 → +2
Rows 3-8: +4
That’s inconsistent.
But the title is “Skip Counting by 4’s”. So probably Rows 1 and 2 have a typo? Or maybe I’m misunderstanding.
Wait — let’s look at the image description again (even though I’m not supposed to describe it). In the user’s message, it says:
> Skip Counting by 4’s
> Hop and fill-in the missing numbers.
Then for Row 1:
1. | 72 START | 74 | 76 | _ | _ | ...
If we assume the pattern is +2 for Row 1 and 2, and +4 for others, that would be odd.
But mathematically, if we follow what’s written:
For Row 1: 72, 74, 76 → next should be 78, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90
Similarly Row 2: 212, 214, 216 → 218, 220, 222, 224, 226, 228, 230
But that contradicts the “by 4’s” title.
Alternatively, maybe “START” means the starting point, and the next numbers are examples of skipping by 4? But 72 to 74 is not 4.
Unless... oh! Wait a minute — maybe the “START” is under 72, but the sequence is 72, then skip 4 to get 76? But they wrote 74 in between.
I think there might be an error in the worksheet for Rows 1 and 2. But since this is a student task, and most rows are clearly +4, perhaps Rows 1 and 2 are meant to be +4 too, and the 74 and 76 are mistakes?
But that seems unlikely.
Another possibility: Maybe “skip counting by 4’s” means something else? No, standard meaning is add 4 each time.
Let me calculate what it should be if we start at 72 and add 4:
72, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96, 100, 104, 108
But the worksheet has 74 and 76 already filled, which doesn't match.
Perhaps the "START" is not part of the sequence? No, it's in the first box.
I think the only logical conclusion is that for Rows 1 and 2, the pattern is +2, and for Rows 3-8, it's +4. Even though the title says "by 4's", maybe it's a general title and some rows vary? But that would be very confusing for students.
Perhaps it's a trick to see if students notice? Unlikely for this level.
Let me double-check with Row 3: 860, 864, 868 — yes, +4.
Row 4: 536, 540, 544 — +4.
So probably, Rows 1 and 2 are errors, or perhaps I need to follow the given numbers.
As an educational assistant, I should solve based on the pattern shown in each row, even if it conflicts with the title.
So for each row, I'll extend the sequence as per the first three numbers.
Let's do that.
Row 1: 72, 74, 76 → pattern +2
Next numbers: 78, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90
There are 7 empty boxes after the first three, so total 10 boxes: positions 1-3 given, 4-10 to fill.
So: 78, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90
Row 2: 212, 214, 216 → +2
Next: 218, 220, 222, 224, 226, 228, 230
Row 3: 860, 864, 868 → +4
Next: 872, 876, 880, 884, 888, 892, 896
Row 4: 536, 540, 544 → +4
Next: 548, 552, 556, 560, 564, 568, 572
Row 5: 700, 704, 708 → +4
Next: 712, 716, 720, 724, 728, 732, 736
Row 6: 344, 348, 352 → +4
Next: 356, 360, 364, 368, 372, 376, 380
Row 7: 956, 960, 964 → +4
Next: 968, 972, 976, 980, 984, 988, 992
Row 8: 708, 712, 716 → +4
Next: 720, 724, 728, 732, 736, 740, 744
Now, to confirm, let's verify one calculation.
For Row 3: 868 + 4 = 872, +4=876, +4=880, etc. Yes.
For Row 1: 76 + 2 = 78, +2=80, etc. Yes.
Even though the title says "by 4's", the first two rows show a different pattern, so I'll go with what's given.
Perhaps the "START" is misleading, but the numbers are clear.
So final answers per row:
1. 78, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90
2. 218, 220, 222, 224, 226, 228, 230
3. 872, 876, 880, 884, 888, 892, 896
4. 548, 552, 556, 560, 564, 568, 572
5. 712, 716, 720, 724, 728, 732, 736
6. 356, 360, 364, 368, 372, 376, 380
7. 968, 972, 976, 980, 984, 988, 992
8. 720, 724, 728, 732, 736, 740, 744
I think that's correct based on the patterns provided in each row.
Final Answer:
1. 78, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90
2. 218, 220, 222, 224, 226, 228, 230
3. 872, 876, 880, 884, 888, 892, 896
4. 548, 552, 556, 560, 564, 568, 572
5. 712, 716, 720, 724, 728, 732, 736
6. 356, 360, 364, 368, 372, 376, 380
7. 968, 972, 976, 980, 984, 988, 992
8. 720, 724, 728, 732, 736, 740, 744
We’ll go row by row and fill in all the missing numbers.
