Multiplication and division - The 5 times table - Worksheet

This worksheet is tailored for students who are learning to master the 5 times table as part of their multiplication and division skills, in accordance with the National Curriculum objective. The resources provided include differentiated sheets and teaching slides to cater to varying levels of ability. The lesson emphasises the importance of understanding the concept of 'equals to' and encourages children to recognise patterns in odd and even numbers when dealing with multiples of 2, 5, and 10. Students will utilise vocabulary such as 'multiplication', 'division', 'counting', 'equals to', and 'represent' throughout the lesson.

The activities are designed to reinforce fluency and precision in using the 5 times table. Children will engage with questions that prompt them to visualise and count in multiples of 5, and solve problems that involve finding the number of items based on the total number. For instance, they might be asked to determine the number of flowers if there are 30 petals, assuming each flower has 5 petals. The worksheet includes pictorial representations to aid in the learning process, and children will practice completing equations and comparing expressions using comparison symbols. Advanced problems challenge students to apply their multiplication and division knowledge to real-world scenarios, such as determining the number of egg cartons needed for a given number of eggs when the cartons can contain either two or five eggs.
