    Six stacks of ten colorful blocks.

    Start at 10 and skip count by 10s to 60. Write all the numbers.

  4. 4
    A number line with equal hops and one highlighted missing position.

    A number line shows 0, 2, 4, 6, __, 10. What number is missing?

    A number line shows 20, 30, 40, __, 60. What number is missing?

  7. 7
    A number line showing equal backward jumps to the left.

    Start at 14 and count backward by 2s for five numbers. Write the numbers.

  8. 8
