Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Skip count by 5s from 5 to 100

  • Complete a number sequence when only a few anchor numbers along the path are given

  • Continue the counting-by-5 pattern from a mid-sequence start such as 20 or 60 instead of always beginning at 5

Teaching tips

  • Display or hand out the 5-100 poster first so students can check their own paths against the complete sequence

  • Work the five sheets in printed order — the ranges climb from 5-35 up to 60-100, finishing with a page that starts at 60

  • The plane page (from 20) and the bunny page (from 60) make quick checks for students who can only chant the sequence from 5

  • Put the keyed pages at a math center for self-checking

Skills covered

  • Skip counting by 5s — students fill in missing multiples of five along themed paths covering 5-35, 5-50, 5-75, 20-65, and 60-100.

  • Number-sequence completion — the write-the-answers page gives anchors such as 5, 15, 25, and 45 and students supply the rest of the 5-50 sequence.

  • Counting on from a mid-sequence start — the plane and bunny pages begin at 20 and 60, so students continue the pattern rather than restart it.

  • Checking work against a reference chart — the two posters print the complete 5-100 sequence for comparison.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Do all five sheets start counting at 5?

Three do — the snowman, write-in, and lily-pad pages. The plane page starts at 20 and the bunny page at 60, so the set also stretches students beyond the memorised start of the sequence.

How high does the counting reach by the end of the set?

The bunny page runs 60 through 100, and both posters display the entire 5-to-100 sequence, so the set closes the full first hundred in fives.
