Skip Counting by 5s — multiples to 100 — free printable diagram

Skip counting by 5s to 100

This hundreds chart covers 1 to 100 with every multiple of 5 highlighted. Counting in 5s goes 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and on, 20 numbers in all, finishing at 100. Each highlighted number is 5 more than the one before it.

the 5 times table — 5 × 1 up to 5 × 20

• Skip counting in 5s and the 5 times table are the same list of numbers reached two ways: by repeatedly adding 5, or by multiplying 5 by 1, 2, 3 and so on. The 20th multiple is 5 × 20 = 100.
• 100 ÷ 5 = 20, which is why 20 multiples of 5 fit inside 100 and the last one lands exactly on 100.
• Every multiple of 5 ends in 0 or 5, which makes them quick to spot in the chart without working anything out.
• Counting backwards down the highlighted numbers is division practice: from 100, taking away 5 at a time reaches 0 after exactly 20 steps.
• A number is a multiple of 5 if counting in 5s lands on it exactly — 100 does. A number sitting between two highlighted squares does not, and how far past the lower one it sits is the remainder when it is divided by 5.
