The 5 times table

  1. 1 × 5 = 5
  2. 2 × 5 = 10
  3. 3 × 5 = 15
  4. 4 × 5 = 20
  5. 5 × 5 = 25
  6. 6 × 5 = 30
  7. 7 × 5 = 35
  8. 8 × 5 = 40
  9. 9 × 5 = 45
  10. 10 × 5 = 50
  11. 11 × 5 = 55
  12. 12 × 5 = 60

Patterns that help

  • Every answer ends in 5 or 0.
  • Five 8s is half of ten 8s: 5 × 8 is half of 80, which is 40.
  • An odd number times 5 ends in 5, and an even number times 5 ends in 0.
  • It's how you tell the time: the minute hand on 7 means 35 minutes past.

Practise the 5 times table

12 questions, mixed up: some multiplying, some missing numbers, some dividing. Nothing is timed. After each one you'll see the answer and a quick way to work it out.

A quick way to every fact

If one won't stick, there's nearly always an easier fact one step away.

  • 5 × 2 = 10 Double 5: 10.
  • 5 × 3 = 15 Five 3s is half of ten 3s: half of 30 is 15.
  • 5 × 4 = 20 Five 4s is half of ten 4s: half of 40 is 20.
  • 5 × 5 = 25 Five 5s is half of ten 5s: half of 50 is 25.
  • 5 × 6 = 30 Five 6s is half of ten 6s: half of 60 is 30.
  • 5 × 7 = 35 Five 7s is half of ten 7s: half of 70 is 35.
  • 5 × 8 = 40 Five 8s is half of ten 8s: half of 80 is 40.
  • 5 × 9 = 45 Five 9s is half of ten 9s: half of 90 is 45.
  • 5 × 10 = 50 Ten 5s is 5 with a nought on the end: 50.
  • 5 × 11 = 55 Eleven 5s is the digit twice: 55.
  • 5 × 12 = 60 Five 12s is half of ten 12s: half of 120 is 60.

Counting in 5s

Saying the answers in order is the first step. Each one is 5 more than the last.

  1. 0
  2. 5
  3. 10
  4. 15
  5. 20
  6. 25
  7. 30
  8. 35
  9. 40
  10. 45
  11. 50
  12. 55
  13. 60

Division facts for free

Every times table fact gives a division fact too. If you know 5 × 7 = 35, you also know 35 ÷ 5 = 7.

  • 5 ÷ 5 = 1
  • 10 ÷ 5 = 2
  • 15 ÷ 5 = 3
  • 20 ÷ 5 = 4
  • 25 ÷ 5 = 5
  • 30 ÷ 5 = 6
  • 35 ÷ 5 = 7
  • 40 ÷ 5 = 8
  • 45 ÷ 5 = 9
  • 50 ÷ 5 = 10
  • 55 ÷ 5 = 11
  • 60 ÷ 5 = 12

Questions parents ask

When do children learn the 5 times table?

In Year 2, under the national curriculum in England. The 2, 5 and 10 times tables come first because they match how children already count: in twos, in fives round a clock face, and in tens.

Is the 5 times table in the Year 4 multiplication tables check?

Yes. Between 3 and 7 questions on the 2, 5 and 10 tables together, kept low because children learn them first. The check has 25 questions, with six seconds to answer each one.

How can I help my child learn the 5 times table?

Learn one pattern at a time. Every answer ends in 5 or 0. Then practise little and often: a set of twelve questions above takes a few minutes, and every answer shows a quick way to work it out.
