About this worksheet
Counting in fives, which children know from telling the time and counting coins. Half of 10 times the number is the other route. Every answer ends in 5 or 0: odd numbers times 5 end in 5, even numbers in 0. The facts that need the most repetition: Few — 5 × 7, 5 × 9 and 5 × 12 when they come out of order.
Typical use: grade 2, one sheet a day for a week, then a mixed 0–12 sheet to check the 5s hold up among the other tables. Narrow the range to 1–10 for a shorter table, or switch to the horizontal layout for a fact-test format.
Standards
