About the skip counting by 5s chart

Counting by 5s paints exactly two columns on the hundreds chart: numbers ending in 5 and numbers ending in 0. It’s the tidiest pattern after the 10s, it’s how clock minutes are read, and it’s the 5 times table in sequence. Count the shaded cells aloud with the rhythm — five, ten, fifteen — and the chart slowly becomes optional.
