Part B: Fill in the Missing Number
Write the missing number to complete each number sentence.
1. 3 x 5 = 15
3 x 5 = 15. Skip count by 3s: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 — five steps.

5 x 4 = 20. Skip count by 4s: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 — five steps.
3. 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 4 x 5
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20, and 4 x 5 = 20. The missing number is 5.
4. 2 x 5 = 10
2 x 5 = 10. Two groups of five: 5 + 5 = 10.
