Key learning points

The 5 times table can be represented in different ways with groups of 5
The 5 times table can be recorded as skip counting in 5 on a number line.
The number of counts is one of the factors and the skip size of 5 is the other factor.
The 5 times table can be represented using multiplication equations.

Keywords

Skip count - Counting in steps of equal size. For example, skip counting in twos means to count in equal steps of two.
Factor - A factor is a number which exactly divides another whole number.
Product - A product is the result of two or more numbers multiplied together.

Common misconception

Children may struggle to count in multiples of 5s

Use of concrete resources: 10 frame and 5 p coins can support children to practise skip counting in 5s. Then move onto counting in 5s on a number line.

Regular practice should be undertaken, including outside the main maths lesson, until children are fluent.
