Purpose & benefits
Skip counting by 5s is the counting rhythm kids will use their whole lives. Nickels, minutes, tally marks, they all go up by 5.
This worksheet has Grade 1 and Grade 2 learners fill in missing numbers in 5-jump sequences. It builds automatic recall of the pattern.
How to use this worksheet
Chant the sequence together first. Five, ten, fifteen, twenty. Have your child count on their fingers, then move to the paper. If they stall, ask them to look at a clock face for a memory hook.
💡 Tip: Sit with your child during the first few questions to make sure they understand the instructions, then let them work independently.

About this worksheet
Skip counting by 5s is a real-world skill
Every kid learns to count to 5. But skip counting by 5s is where the magic starts. Once they own that pattern, they can read a clock. They can count coins. They can multiply by 5 without effort. Designed for Grade 1 and Grade 2 classrooms, this skip counting sheet fits US Common Core and UK KS1 math standards.
Sequences build from short to long. Pair with a 100s chart or a real analog clock for extra reinforcement. Once your student is confident, try oral skip counting during transitions like walking to lunch or waiting in line. Turning it into a game makes the pattern stick even faster.
