Skip counting practice worksheet for 2's and 5's using cherries and a planet number line.

Let’s solve this step by step.

First, look at the “2’s” section.
We are skip counting by 2s — that means we add 2 each time:
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16...

There are 8 boxes under the cherries (4 on top row, 4 on bottom row).
So we need to fill them in order from left to right, top to bottom:

Top row (left to right):
Box 1 → 2
Box 2 → 4
Box 3 → 6
Box 4 → 8

Bottom row (left to right):
Box 5 → 10
Box 6 → 12
Box 7 → 14
Box 8 → 16

That matches the numbers given in the table below — they’re just mixed up. We put them in order as we count by 2s.

Now, the “5’s” section.
We are skip counting by 5s:
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55...

The number line shows:
Start at 5 → then arrow to first blank → then 15 → next blank → 25 → next blank → 35 → next blank → 45 → next blank → 55

So between 5 and 15 is 10
Between 15 and 25 is 20
Between 25 and 35 is 30
Between 35 and 45 is 40
Between 45 and 55 is 50

Fill those blanks in order.

Final Answer:
For the 2’s section (top to bottom, left to right):
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16

For the 5’s section (blanks between the numbers):
10, 20, 30, 40, 50
