Start at 0 and skip count by 2s to 12. Write all the numbers you say.
Add 2 each time.
The numbers are 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. - 2
Start at 5 and skip count by 5s until you reach 30. Write the numbers in order.
The numbers are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30. - 3
Start at 10 and skip count by 10s to 60. Write all the numbers.
Each jump is 10 more than the number before.
The numbers are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60. - 4
A number line shows 0, 2, 4, 6, __, 10. What number is missing?
The missing number is 8 because the pattern counts by 2s. - 5
A number line shows 0, 5, 10, __, 20, 25. What number is missing?
Look at how much the numbers increase each time.
The missing number is 15 because the pattern counts by 5s. - 6
A number line shows 20, 30, 40, __, 60. What number is missing?
The missing number is 50 because the pattern counts by 10s. - 7
Start at 14 and count backward by 2s for five numbers. Write the numbers.
Subtract 2 each time.
The numbers are 14, 12, 10, 8, and 6. - 8
Start at 25 and count backward by 5s until you reach 0. Write the numbers.
The numbers are 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, and 0. - 9
Skip count by 2s starting at 3. Write the next five numbers after 3.
Keep adding 2 to the starting number.
The next five numbers are 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13. - 10
Skip count by 5s starting at 2. Write the next five numbers after 2.
The next five numbers are 7, 12, 17, 22, and 27. - 11
There are 4 jumps on a number line. Each jump moves 10 spaces forward. If you start at 0, where do you land?
Count 10, 20, 30, 40.
You land on 40 because 4 jumps of 10 make 40. - 12
Sam makes equal jumps on a number line: 6, 8, 10, 12, 14. What rule is Sam using?
Sam is adding 2 each time, so the rule is to skip count by 2s.
