Grade 2 Skip Counting Practice Test

Build Grade 2 math skills with five 10-question practice tests covering skip-counting patterns, missing terms, rules, and real-world groups.

Skip Counting Practice Tests

These Grade 2 Math practice tests help students count forward or backward by equal amounts. Students complete patterns, find missing numbers, identify counting rules, and connect skip counting to groups of objects.

Skills covered

  • Skip counting by 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, and 10s
  • Finding the next number in a sequence
  • Finding a missing term in a sequence
  • Describing a pattern by its counting rule
  • Counting backward by equal amounts
  • Using skip counting to count groups of objects

How to use these practice tests

Complete one 10-question test at a time. Encourage the student to say the counting rule aloud and use a number line or groups of objects when a sequence feels difficult.

1. QuestionMultiple choice

What number comes next: 4, 8, 12, 16, ___?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 20.

  1. Find the pattern: Compare neighboring numbers to see how much the sequence changes each time.
  2. Continue the count: The pattern adds 4 each time, so 16 + 4 = 20.
  3. Check the answer: The correct choice is 20.

The pattern adds 4 each time, so 16 + 4 = 20.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

What number comes next: 30, 35, 40, 45, ___?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 50.

  1. Find the pattern: Compare neighboring numbers to see how much the sequence changes each time.
  2. Continue the count: The pattern adds 5 each time, so 45 + 5 = 50.
  3. Check the answer: The correct choice is 50.

The pattern adds 5 each time, so 45 + 5 = 50.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

What number comes next: 60, 70, 80, 90, ___?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 100.

  1. Find the pattern: Compare neighboring numbers to see how much the sequence changes each time.
  2. Continue the count: The pattern adds 10 each time, so 90 + 10 = 100.

The pattern adds 10 each time, so 90 + 10 = 100.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

What number comes next: 2, 5, 8, 11, ___?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 14.

  1. Find the pattern: Compare neighboring numbers to see how much the sequence changes each time.
  2. Continue the count: The pattern adds 3 each time, so 11 + 3 = 14.
