Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a mathematical exercise that requires students to identify and circle the number that correctly continues the skip counting by fours sequence. Each question presents a starting number followed by three options, one of which is the correct continuation of the sequence. The students must recognize the pattern of adding four to the previous number to determine the correct answer. It’s a multiple-choice format, designed to focus the student’s attention on a limited set of possible answers.

The aim of this worksheet is to reinforce the student’s ability to identify numerical patterns and to practice skip counting, a precursor to mastering multiplication tables. By presenting a set of options rather than blank spaces, it tests the student’s understanding of the sequence rather than their ability to recall the sequence from memory alone. This method of teaching also introduces basic test-taking skills, such as eliminating incorrect answers. Furthermore, it promotes critical thinking as students must analyze each option to determine the correct continuation of the pattern.
