The 5 times table is simple: You multiply by 5 or add 5 repeatedly
Here is the 5 times table:
1 × 5 = 5
2 × 5 = 10
3 × 5 = 15
4 × 5 = 20
5 × 5 = 25
6 × 5 = 30
7 × 5 = 35
8 × 5 = 40
9 × 5 = 45
10 × 5 = 50
More than 10:
11 × 5 = 55
12 × 5 = 60
Repeated Addition[]
5 = 5
5 + 5 = 10
5 + 5 + 5 = 15
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 25
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 30
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 35
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 40
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 45
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 50
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 55
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 60
Tips & Tricks[]
- All products end in 0 or 5. When you multiply 5 by an odd number, the product ends in 5. For example: 5 (odd) × 5 = 25. When you multiply 5 by an even number, the product ends in 0. For example, 2 (even) × 5 = 10
- You can multiply by 10 & halve the product (divide by 2) (8 × 5 = 8 × 10 = 80 ÷ 2 (halve of 80) = 40)
- You can relate to objects like a clock (1 × 5 = 5 minutes, 2 × 5 = 10 minutes...)
- Familiarize yourself with the Commutative Property of Multiplication (9 × 5 = 5 × 9)
- Use songs & rhymes to memorize
- An example of a rhyme is:
- 9 & 5 build a hive. 9 × 5 = 45
