Skip-count by 2s

Skip-counting by 2s represents a sequence in which each whole number is 2 greater than the preceding number: 0, 2, 4, 6, and so on through 1,000. The learner connects this constant difference to movement of two units on a number line, identifies the resulting numbers as even, and understands the sequence as a foundation for equal groups, repeated addition, and multiplication; more advanced generalizations beyond this whole-number range are not included.

Detailed Explanation: Skip-count by 2s

Skip-counting by $2$ s means adding $2$ each time. On a number line, move $2$ spaces to the right for every count.

Example: Start at $6$ and skip-count by $2$ s four times.

Start at $6$ .
Add $2$ : $6+2=8$ .
Add $2$ again: $8+2=10$ .
Add $2$ again: $10+2=12$ .
Add $2$ one more time: $12+2=14$ .

So the sequence is:

6,\ 8,\ 10,\ 12,\ 14

Each number is $2$ greater than the number before it. These numbers are even numbers. Skip-counting by $2$ s is also like making equal groups of $2$ or adding $2$ again and again.
