STEP-BY-STEP SOLVED EXAMPLES
Multiplying by five is often one of the first times tables students master because the products always end in a 0 or a 5. Here are three examples from the worksheet solved step-by-step:
Example 1: 8 x 5 = ?
To solve 8 x 5, you can think of it as adding 5 eight times. Alternatively, use skip-counting: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40. By reaching the eighth number in the sequence, we find that 8 x 5 = 40.
Example 2: 3 x 5 = ?
This problem asks for 3 groups of 5. If you count by fives three times (5, 10, 15), you arrive at the answer quickly. Thus, 3 x 5 = 15.
Example 3: 9 x 5 = ?
Think of this as one group less than 10 x 5. Since 10 x 5 is 50, you simply subtract 5 to get 45. Using the skip-counting method: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45. Therefore, 9 x 5 = 45.
TEACHER & PARENT TIPS
To make the most of this worksheet, encourage students to look for the pattern in the "ones" column of the answers; they will quickly notice it alternates between 0 and 5. For students who struggle, provide an analog clock as a visual aid, as the minute hand positions are a perfect real-world application of multiplying by 5. You can also turn this worksheet into a fun "Mad Minute" challenge by setting a timer to see how many problems they can solve accurately in sixty seconds!
