Year 2 Calculation - Multiplication and Division By 5
5 x 6 = 30 so 30 ÷ 5 = 6

Practise multiplying and dividing by five. Count in fives, use arrays and equal groups, and spot word clues that tell you to times or share by five.

Fascinating Fact:

Word clues “Groups of five” means ×5. “How many fives in 40?” means 40 ÷ 5 = 8. Clear as a bell.

In KS1 Maths, Year 2 pupils link multiplication and division by 5 using equal groups, arrays, and counting in fives. Word clues help: “groups of five” means multiply; “how many fives in…?” means divide.

  • Group of five: A set of 5 items; count groups to solve ×5 questions.
  • Multiple of 5: A number in the five-times table, like 5, 10, 15, 20.
  • Array: Objects in rows and columns that show × and ÷ facts clearly.

Warm up with quick sharing and grouping in fives: try the Division Game before you start the quiz.

How do I know when to use ×5 or ÷5?

Use ×5 for “groups of five” or “five each.” Use ÷5 for “how many fives in…?” or when sharing equally into five groups.

What are easy ways to learn the five-times table?

Count in fives on your fingers or a number line, clap every five, and read arrays like 3 rows of 5 to see 3 × 5 = 15.

Why do many multiples of 5 end in 0 or 5?

Every multiple of 5 is five more than the last. The ones digit alternates 5, 0, 5, 0… so results always end with 0 or 5.

Question 1
Which is the odd fact out?
5 x 7 = 35
35 ÷ 7 = 5
35 ÷ 5 = 7
7 ÷ 5 = 35
7 ÷ 5 does not give a whole number as an answer
Question 2
Which is not a multiple of 5?
75
90
152
105
Multiples of 5 only end in 5 or 0
Question 3
What is 10 x 5?
50
2
15
5
You would get the same answer from 5 x 10
Question 4
How many 5s are there in 95?
59
9
19
15
Counting up in 5s until you reach 95 is helpful here
Question 5
I know that 12 x 5 = 60. What else do I know?
12 ÷ 60 = 5
60 + 5 = 12
60 ÷ 12 = 5
5 x 60 = 12
If 12 groups of 5 makes 60, then 60 divided into groups of 12 will mean 5 in each group
Question 6
What is the next number in this sequence: 15, 20, 25, 30, ?
33
31
35
40
The numbers are going up in fives
Question 7
I pack crayons into boxes, putting 5 in each box. How many boxes will I need for 40 crayons?
48, because 40 ÷ 5 = 48
20, because 4 x 5 = 20
45, because 40 + 5 = 45
8, because 40 ÷ 5 = 8
We could work this out from knowing that 5 x 8 = 40 or 8 x 5 = 40
Question 8
Which number is in the 5 times table?
785
513
556
789
Looking only at the last digit is important when spotting multiples of 5
Question 9
What is 55 ÷ 5?
5
15
10
11
There are 11 groups of 5 in 55
Question 10
Children sit in groups of 5. How many groups can be made from 30 children?
35
5
6
60
30 ÷ 5 = 6
