Skip Counting by 5s Chart

Hang the number chart where 1st grade students see it daily, and use it during calendar time or counting warm-ups to build automatic recall. Hand out the blank 100 square for students to fill in independently, then compare it to the wall chart to spot gaps in counting. Use the digit cards for matching games, ordering practice, or a quick "what number comes next" activity, and bring out the skip-counting chart once straight counting feels solid. At home, count everyday objects together and check the number against the chart or cards for a low-pressure way to build fluency.

This numbers set covers the full range 1st grade students need, from a 1-20 or 1-100 wall chart for quick reference to a blank 100 number square to fill in by hand. A counting activity pack ties number recognition to simple addition through a themed illustration, a skip-counting chart builds pattern recognition by 5s, and a set of digit cards from 0-20 supports hands-on games. Together these pieces move from passive reference (the chart on the wall) to active practice (filling in, sorting, and counting aloud). Use whichever piece matches where a student is: recognition, sequencing, or early pattern work.

Yes, both. We made it for 1st Grade numbers, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with skip counting. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

Counting in jumps of 5 instead of one at a time. The chant usually comes first and the understanding follows.

Skip counting by 5s is the groundwork for multiplication. Counting by 5s is the 5 times table before it has that name. It also builds the habit of counting in groups instead of one at a time, which is what makes larger numbers manageable.

Very normal, and it is the useful thing to work on next. Chanting is memorized sound. Understanding shows up when you start them at, say, 6 and ask what comes next. Practice starting from different points and the chant turns into real counting.

1 printable resource, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for 1st Grade students, roughly ages 6-7. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 1st Grade classroom, a literacy centre, or a tutoring session.
