Skip Counting by 5s to 100

This second-grade class is on a safari! As they drive around the African plains, they will count how many animals they see.

The safari bus has stopped. It’s time to count the animals! These animals are in groups of 5. Let’s add them together: 5+5+5+5+5=25. There are 25 animals. Now, instead of adding them together, let’s try skip counting by 5s. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25. Wow! That was even faster!

The students are headed to the next stop on their safari. Are you ready to count the animals? Remember, they have already seen 25 animals.

Let’s keep skip counting by 5s. Here we go! 30, 35, 40, 45, 50. Very good! The students have seen 50 animals.

It’s time to go to the next stop on the safari! The students have already seen 50 animals. I wonder how many more they will see!

Wow! Look at all of the animals! The students have tried to skip count by 5s, but now they’re stuck. They’ve counted 55, 60, and 70 animals. Can you help them fill in the blanks? Let’s skip count by 5s: 55, 60, 65, 70, 75. The missing numbers are 65 and 75.

Great job skip counting by 5s. Now the class is on their way to the last stop on the safari.

The students have already tried to skip count by 5s. Can you help them fill in the missing numbers?

Remember, they’ve seen 75 animals so far. They’ve counted 90 and 95 animals. Let’s help them fill in the blanks by skip counting by 5s: 80, 85, 90, 95, 100.

Great job! The missing numbers are 80, 85, and 100. The students have seen 100 animals!

Skip counting by 5s is an important math strategy. Let’s practice counting together once more. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100.

Thank you for helping the second-grade class count the animals on their safari!
