Skip Counting by 5: Maze Worksheet for Kids

How to use this worksheet

Point out the starting number 5 at the beginning of the maze and the playground image at the end as the goal. Ask your child to find the next number in the 5s sequence, 10, then 15, then 20, and trace or color the path through each correct number as they go. If they land on a number that isn't a multiple of five, encourage them to backtrack and try a different path rather than fixing it for them. Once they reach the playground, have them recite the full sequence of numbers they counted through out loud.
