Three Activities to Practice Counting by Fives<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Gather 100 items such as lego blocks, coins, or pieces of paper. Tip:<\/strong> Use a paper punch with scrap card stock to make shapes. \"Groups<\/a>We used a 1 inch heart punch to make our 100 pieces. Next place the items in groups of five. It helps when the students can see what a group of five looks like. Start with four groups of five, using 20 of the items. As the student progresses add more groups until they can count groups of five all the way up to 100.<\/li>\n
  2. Use counting by fives flash cards to practice finding the missing number. Make your own cards, print from a template, or buy pre-made, its’ up to you. We offer a counting by fives flash card template in Billy Gorilly’s Rockin’ the SchoolHouse printables, Vol. 2 ebook. Line up the flash cards in a row starting with 5, 10, 15 etc. Now, remove a few of the numbers. Place the numbers you removed in a pile, then have the student put the correct numbers in the missing spots.<\/li>\n
  3. Once the student is getting the hang of things, have them take the counting by fives flash cards and put them in order from 5-100.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These are easy activities that can be used over and over.<\/h4>\n
