Let's solve the
skip counting problems using the number lines provided in the worksheet.

🔢 What is Skip Counting?
Skip counting means counting forward by a specific number (like 2, 3, 4, or 5) instead of counting one by one. It helps build number sense and multiplication skills.
We’ll use the
number line from 1 to 12 and draw arrows (like the bunny jumps) to show the pattern.

✔ 1. Skip Counting by 2
Start at 1, then jump by 2 each time:
- 1 → 3 → 5 → 7 → 9 → 11
Jumps:
1 → 3 → 5 → 7 → 9 → 11
👉 Draw curved arrows from 1 to 3, 3 to 5, 5 to 7, etc., up to 11.
✔ Numbers:
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11
---
✔ 2. Skip Counting by 3
Start at 1, add 3 each time:
- 1 → 4 → 7 → 10
Jumps:
1 → 4 → 7 → 10
👉 Draw arrows from 1 to 4, 4 to 7, 7 to 10.
✔ Numbers:
1, 4, 7, 10
---
✔ 3. Skip Counting by 4
Start at 1, add 4 each time:
- 1 → 5 → 9
Jumps:
1 → 5 → 9
👉 Arrows from 1 to 5, then 5 to 9.
✔ Numbers:
1, 5, 9
---
✔ 4. Skip Counting by 5
Start at 1, add 5 each time:
- 1 → 6 → 11
Jumps:
1 → 6 → 11
👉 Arrows from 1 to 6, then 6 to 11.
✔ Numbers:
1, 6, 11

📝 Summary Table:
| Skip Count By | Sequence (on number line) |
|---------------|---------------------------|
| 2 | 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 |
| 3 | 1, 4, 7, 10 |
| 4 | 1, 5, 9 |
| 5 | 1, 6, 11 |

💡 How to Fill in the Worksheet:
For each section:
1. Start at
1.
2. Draw a
curved arrow to the next number (adding the skip count).
3. Continue until you go beyond 12.
For example:
- For "skip counting by 2": Draw arrows from 1→3, 3→5, 5→7, 7→9, 9→11.
- Stop when the next number would be >12.

✔ Final Answer:
You should draw the following jumps on each number line:
1.
By 2: 1 → 3 → 5 → 7 → 9 → 11
2.
By 3: 1 → 4 → 7 → 10
3.
By 4: 1 → 5 → 9
4.
By 5: 1 → 6 → 11
These are the correct sequences for skip counting starting from 1 with the given intervals.
