Fascinating Fact:

A starfish is often shown with 5 arms, so 3 starfish have 5 × 3 = 15 arms.

In KS2 Times Tables, the 5 times table helps pupils build rapid recall using simple number patterns. It connects strongly to counting in fives, understanding multiples, and using inverse division facts to check answers.

  • Multiple: A number you get by multiplying, such as 25 being a multiple of 5.
  • Inverse: The opposite operation that undoes something, such as division undoing multiplication.
  • Pattern: A rule you can spot and use to predict numbers, such as 5 times table answers ending in 0 or 5.
What is the 5 times table?

The 5 times table is the set of facts you get when you multiply numbers by 5, for example 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and it continues in steps of five.

How can I learn the 5 times table quickly?

You can learn the 5 times table quickly by counting in fives and remembering that the answers always end in 0 or 5, which makes the pattern easy to spot.

How is the 5 times table used in real life?

The 5 times table is used in real life for counting coins, working out groups of five, and telling the time, because minutes on a clock move in steps of five.

1 .
8 x 5 =

2 .
3 x 5 =
10

9 x 5 =

To multiply a number by 9 first times it by 10 and then take it away. So 5 x 10 = 50 and 50 - 5 + 45
4 .
5 x 5 =
10
15
20
25
When a number is multiplied by itself we say that it has been squared, so 5 squared is 25
5 .
7 x 5 =
35
40
42
45
7 x 5 is the same as (5 x 5) + (2 x 5). 5 x 5 = 25 and 2 x 5 = 10. 25 + 10 = 35 so 7 x 5 = 35

4 x 5 can be either 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 or 5 + 5 + 5 + 5

10 .
12 x 5 =
55

60
65
To times any number by 5 just times it by 10 and then half it, so 12 x 10 = 120 and 120 ÷ 2 = 60
