Proofreading Symbols Worksheet - Twinkl (teacher made) - Free Printable

The image contains a sequence of symbols:
$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $

Let’s count them carefully.

We can group them to make counting easier.
Each group of 5 symbols is easy to spot:

- First 5: $ $ $ $ $
- Next 5: $ $ $ $ $ → total 10
- Next 5: $ $ $ $ $ → total 15
- Next 5: $ $ $ $ $ → total 20
- Next 5: $ $ $ $ $ → total 25
- Next 5: $ $ $ $ $ → total 30
- Next 5: $ $ $ $ $ → total 35
- Next 5: $ $ $ $ $ → total 40
- Next 5: $ $ $ $ $ → total 45
- Last 5: $ $ $ $ $ → total 50

Wait — let me recount by actually listing positions or using a better method.

Actually, looking at the string:

It’s written as:
`$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $`

That’s 20 dollar signs? Let me count again.

Break it into chunks:

Positions 1–5: $ $ $ $ $ → 5
6–10: $ $ $ $ $ → 10
11–15: $ $ $ $ $ → 15
16–20: $ $ $ $ $ → 20

Yes — that’s 20 symbols.

But wait — in the original image text, it’s written as:

“$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $”

Let me copy and count character by character (ignoring spaces for now — but actually, the spaces are separators, so each “$” is one symbol).

Actually, in the user input, it's shown as:

```
$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $
```

That’s 20 dollar signs, separated by spaces.

So total number of `$` symbols = 20

But hold on — maybe I should verify with another approach.

Count how many times “$” appears in the string.

In the raw text:
“$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $”

If we remove all spaces, we get:
“$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$” → that’s 20 characters.

Yes.

Final verification:
Group them as:
(1) $
(2) $
(3) $
(4) $
(5) $
(6) $
(7) $
(8) $
(9) $
(10) $
(11) $
(12) $
(13) $
(14) $
(15) $
(16) $
(17) $
(18) $
(19) $
(20) $

Perfect — 20 items.

Final Answer:
20
