This set of Animal Counting worksheets allows students to practise skip counting by 2 and recording the multiplication fact to match.

To complete this worksheet, students count or multiply by 2 to determine how many animal legs are in each habitat. They record the solution by completing the sentence or writing the number sentence to match.

There are 4 versions included so that this task can be easily differentiated for your class:

1. Students skip count by 2 to find the total then record the answer by completing the sentence
2. Students multiply by 2 with visual support then record the answer by completing the multiplication number sentence
3. Students multiply by 2 without visual support (they can draw the animals if needed) then record the answer by completing the multiplication number sentence
4. Teachers or students can choose the number of animals in each habitat and then complete the multiplication number sentence to match.
