Happy 2s

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features a grid with alternating shaded and non-shaded squares, each containing a number or left blank. The numbers present are in a sequence that increases by twos, starting from 2 and going up to 94, covering a broad range of the two times table. The pattern is interrupted by blank squares where the numbers are missing, challenging the student to fill these in. At the bottom, outside of the grid, there are additional numbers with heart icons beside them, presumably to continue the skip counting exercise.

The purpose of this worksheet is to help students practice skip counting by twos, an essential skill in early mathematics that lays the groundwork for understanding even numbers and multiplication. It tests the student’s ability to recognize the pattern and apply it to fill in the missing numbers accurately. This activity not only reinforces their counting skills but also enhances their ability to recognize and predict number sequences. Moreover, the exercise strengthens mental arithmetic by encouraging the student to calculate the next number in the sequence without visual cues.
