Get the Acorn

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a fun, interactive activity designed to help students practice skip counting by fives. The task is depicted as a playful journey for a squirrel to reach an acorn by following a path marked with blank boxes that need to be filled in with the correct numbers. The path is a winding sequence of steps that represent intervals of five, starting from five and ending at fifty. At the bottom of the page, there are cut-out numbers that students are meant to place in the correct order along the path.

The worksheet is teaching students to identify and understand the pattern of numbers when skip counting by fives. It helps to reinforce their knowledge of number sequences and prepares them for multiplication and division concepts. This cut-and-paste activity provides a tactile learning experience, which can be particularly beneficial for young learners. Additionally, the worksheet encourages problem-solving as students figure out which number fits into each step of the sequence to help the squirrel reach its goal.
