5 Times Table

The 5× table is famously easy — every answer ends in 0 or 5, and it counts the minutes on a clock face. Most children pick this up quickly after 2×.

Tricks for the 5 Times Table

  • Every answer ends in 5 (odd n) or 0 (even n).
  • Use a clock: each number on a clock face is a 5× multiple (1 o'clock is 5 minutes, 2 is 10, etc.).
  • 5 × n is half of 10 × n — so 5 × 8 is 80 ÷ 2 = 40.
2 × 5
= ?

How to use the 5 Times Table tool

  1. Start in flashcard mode

    Open the 5× times table tool in flashcard mode. Don't set a timer yet — focus on accuracy.

  2. Say the answer aloud

    Before clicking to reveal, say the answer out loud. This recruits both visual and verbal memory and speeds up recall.

  3. Switch to drill when fluent

    Once your child can answer each card in about 3 seconds, switch to drill mode for a 60-second challenge.

  4. Track their best score

    Retry the drill and aim to beat last session's score. Kids love the progression, and the repetition cements the facts.
