Skip Counting (x2s) Math Worksheet For Kids - Free Printable

You’re working on a “Skip Counting by 2s” worksheet. The goal is to fill in the missing numbers in the table by counting forward by 2s — that is, adding 2 each time.

---

🔢 How Skip Counting by 2s Works:

Start at 2, then keep adding 2:
> 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, ... and so on.

The pattern is:
Even numbers only, increasing by 2.

🍎 Let’s Fill in the Missing Numbers (Inside the Apples)

We’ll go row by row and find which apples are empty.

#### Row 1:
Given: 2, [blank], 6, [blank], 10
→ After 2 comes 4
→ After 6 comes 8
✔ So: 4, 8

#### Row 2:
Given: 12, 14, [blank], 18, 20? Wait — it says 30? Let’s check...

Actually, looking closely:

Row 2:
12, 14, [blank], 18, 30 → ❗ That can’t be right if we’re counting by 2s.

Wait — let’s look again at the image description:

It says:

```
2 _ 6 _ 10
12 14 _ 18 30 ← this looks like a typo!
22 34 26 38 40
...
```

Hold on — there’s an error in the original worksheet layout.

Let me reconstruct the grid properly based on standard skip counting by 2s from 2 to 100.

The correct sequence should be:

```
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
52 54 56 58 60
62 64 66 68 70
72 74 76 78 80
82 84 86 88 90
92 94 96 98 100
```

But in your image, some numbers are misplaced or misprinted — for example, “30” appears under “18” instead of “20”, and “34” appears under “22” instead of “24”.

This suggests the worksheet may have been scanned or printed with errors — OR — perhaps the blank spaces are meant to be filled based on the correct sequence, ignoring misprints.

✔ Correct Approach: Ignore Misprints, Fill Based on Pattern

We’ll assume the table is meant to be a 5-column grid showing numbers 2 to 100, counting by 2s, left to right, top to bottom.

So the full correct grid 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 |
| 52 | 54 | 56 | 58 | 60 |
| 62 | 64 | 66 | 68 | 70 |
| 72 | 74 | 76 | 78 | 80 |
| 82 | 84 | 86 | 88 | 90 |
| 92 | 94 | 96 | 98 | 100 |

🍏 Now, let’s identify which apples are blank in your image and fill them:

Looking at your image description:

> Row 1: 2, [ ], 6, [ ], 10 → fill 4, 8
> Row 2: 12, 14, [ ], 18, 30 → should be 16, and 20 (not 30)
> Row 3: 22, 34, 26, 38, 40 → 34 is misplaced; should be 24, and 28
> Row 4: 42, 44, [ ], 48, [ ] → fill 46, 50
> Row 5: 52, [ ], 56, [ ], 60 → fill 54, 58
> Row 6: [ ], 64, [ ], 68, [ ] → fill 62, 66, 70
> Row 7: 72, 74, 76, 78, 80 → all filled
> Row 8: 82, [ ], 86, [ ], 90 → fill 84, 88
> Row 9: [ ], 94, [ ], 98, [ ] → fill 92, 96, 100

✍️ Final Answer — Fill in the blanks as follows:

Row 1: 4, 8
Row 2: 16, 20 *(correcting 30 to 20)*
Row 3: 24, 28 *(correcting 34 to 24)*
Row 4: 46, 50
Row 5: 54, 58
Row 6: 62, 66, 70
Row 8: 84, 88
Row 9: 92, 96, 100

📌 Tip for Students:

Always check the pattern! If you see a number that doesn’t fit (like 30 after 18), it’s likely a mistake — trust the pattern: +2 each time.
