To the Hive

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features a bee-themed activity where students are invited to skip count by fives to reach the hive depicted at the bottom. The page is illustrated with bees placed along a flight path that leads to the hive, and each bee is intended to represent a number in the counting sequence. The task for students is to write the appropriate multiples of five on the bees, starting from a low number and counting up to 100. At the bottom of the worksheet, there is a space for students to indicate how they feel about their accomplishment with three emoticons ranging from sad to happy.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to count by fives, a key skill in understanding the base-ten number system and preparing for multiplication. Through this engaging exercise, students learn to recognize and write multiples of five, reinforcing their counting and number sequence skills. The bee and hive theme makes the activity visually interesting and provides a narrative context to help maintain students’ interest. Furthermore, the emoticons at the bottom offer a simple self-assessment tool, encouraging students to reflect on their own learning.
