Dynamically create variables in PowerShell

Question

How do I create a new variable each time a loop runs?

Something along the lines of

for ($i=1; $i -le 5; $i++)
{
    $"var + $i" = $i
    write-host $"var + $i
}

Use New-Variable and Get-Variable (mind available options including scopes). E.g.

for ($i=1; $i -le 5; $i++)
{
    New-Variable -Name "var$i" -Value $i
    Get-Variable -Name "var$i" -ValueOnly
}
