A number line from 0 to 50 with a hop of 5 drawn over every step and five numbers to fill in, then six rows of seven numbers counting on by 5s with three gaps in each. Counting by 5s always ends in 5 or 0, a pattern worth pointing out; it is also how you count nickels and minutes on a clock. Say the numbers out loud as you go: skip counting is easiest when it has a rhythm. Page 2 is the answer key.
