Here is a number grid starting at 1 and finishing with 50.
Look at the highlighted numbers. What do you notice?
Here are the numbers:
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50.
Each number is 5 more than the number before.
These flowers all have 5 petals each.
How many flowers are there?
How many petals are there?
Count in 5s to help you work out the number of petals.
There are 5 flowers with 25 petals in total.
Counting in 5s helps you learn to multiply by 5.
So, 5 flowers with 5 petals each is the same as saying:
5 x 5 = 25 petals
Counting in 5s gives you the 5 times table.
Practise counting up in 5s from 0 to 50.
Remember, when counting in fives, the last digit will always end with either 0 or 5.
