1Odd times 5 ends in 5, even times 5 ends in 0
5 × 3 = 15, 5 × 7 = 35, 5 × 9 = 45. 5 × 4 = 20, 5 × 8 = 40, 5 × 12 = 60. Once your child knows which ending to expect, they only need to work out the tens.

5 times table answers
The 5 times table is 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60.
- 5 × 1 = 5
- 5 × 2 = 10
- 5 × 3 = 15
- 5 × 4 = 20
- 5 × 5 = 25
- 5 × 6 = 30
- 5 × 7 = 35
- 5 × 8 = 40
- 5 × 9 = 45
- 5 × 10 = 50
- 5 × 11 = 55
- 5 × 12 = 60
The 5s are one of the most satisfying tables to learn because the pattern is so easy to see: every answer ends in 5 or 0. Children who count by 5s on a clock or with nickels often know this table before anyone teaches it. Use the 5s to build confidence, and later as a stepping stone for harder facts like the 6s and 7s.

Tricks for the 5 times table
2Half of times 10
Five is half of ten. So 5 × 8 is half of 80, which is 40. 5 × 12 is half of 120, which is 60. For even numbers there is an even quicker version: halve the number, then add a zero (5 × 6: half of 6 is 3, so 30).
3Read the clock
On an analog clock, each number stands for 5 minutes. The 7 means 35 minutes, the 9 means 45. Asking "how many minutes is the big hand on the 8?" practices 5 × 8 in a real-life way.
Patterns to spot
- Answers alternate between ending in 5 and ending in 0.
- The 5s are exactly half of the 10s.
- Two 5s answers in a row always add up to an odd multiple of 5: 15 + 20 = 35.
Common mistakes
- Losing count past 30: 5 × 7 answered as 30 or 40. The odd/even ending rule fixes this.
- 5 × 9 answered as 40 or 50. Use the half-of-90 route: 45.
- Confusing 5 × 5 = 25 with 5 + 5 = 10.
How to practice at home
- Practice with coins: count nickels by 5s.
- Use the 5s as an anchor for other tables: 7 × 6 is 5 × 6 (30) plus 2 × 6 (12) = 42.
- Mix in the 10s at the same time so your child sees the half/double connection.

5 times table FAQ
What is the 5 times table?
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60: the answers to 5 × 1 through 5 × 12.
What is the trick for the 5 times table?
Every answer ends in 5 or 0. Odd numbers times 5 end in 5, even numbers times 5 end in 0. You can also halve the 10s answer.
What is 5 × 7?
5 × 7 = 35. Seven is odd, so the answer ends in 5, and half of 70 is 35.
Why learn the 5s early?
The pattern is easy to spot, which builds confidence, and the 5s help with harder facts later. For example, 6 × 7 can be worked out as 5 × 7 plus one more 7.
Is the 5 times table good for telling time?
Yes. Each number on an analog clock face marks 5 minutes, so reading minutes is 5s practice.
