Fascinating Fact:

There are 5 fingers on one hand and 5 toes on one foot, so two hands or feet make 10, 5 × 2 = 10.

In KS3 Maths Times Tables, the 5 times table supports mental arithmetic across measures and money. Use skip-counting in fives (5, 10, 15…), patterns ending in 0 or 5, and the inverse link to division.

  • Multiple: A number in a times table; for 5 it’s 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, …
  • Factor: A whole number that divides exactly into another; 5 is a factor of 35 because 35 ÷ 5 = 7.
  • Inverse operations: Paired calculations that undo each other, like 5 × 8 = 40 and 40 ÷ 5 = 8.

What’s the quickest way to learn the 5 times table?

Count in fives and use place-value patterns: numbers end in 0 or 5. Anchor facts like 5 × 10 = 50 and 5 × 20 = 100 help speed and accuracy.

How can I use the 5 times table for money problems?

Think in 5p or 50p steps. For example, 7 items at 50p each: 7 × 50p = 350p = £3.50. The 5s pattern makes mental addition easier.

How do I divide by 5 quickly?

Use the inverse: if 5 × 9 = 45, then 45 ÷ 5 = 9. Or halve the number and divide by 10: 80 ÷ 5 = (80 ÷ 10) × 2 = 8 × 2 = 16.
