5 Times Table Practice
20 questions · 60 seconds · ×5 facts up to 12 × 5
Free · no login · instant feedback on every answer
Build instant recall of the 5 times table with a quick timed game: 20 multiplication questions, 60 seconds, and instant feedback on every answer. Each question multiplies 5 by a number from 1 to 12, so every fact in the table gets covered — and the important fives get the focused repetition that turns counting into knowing.
Fact fluency matters because it frees up working memory: a student who knows 5 × 8 instantly can put their full attention on the multi-digit multiplication, division, or fraction problem it appears inside. Every answer in the 5 times table ends in 5 or 0, alternating as you count up: 5, 10, 15, 20… It is also the table on every clock face — the minute hand counts by 5s.
The 5 Times Table
Tips That Make It Stick
- Check the last digit. If an answer does not end in 5 or 0, it is not in the 5 times table. This makes wrong answers easy to spot.
- Halve the 10s. 5 × n is half of 10 × n. For 5 × 8: 10 × 8 = 80, half is 40.
- Use the clock. Reading minutes on an analog clock is 5 times table practice in disguise — the 3 means 15 minutes, the 7 means 35.
