Today I can spot patterns in the 5 and 10 times tables, and use one to find the other.

A Look back3 min

1.
10, 20, 30,
2.
2 + 2 + 2 =
3.
5 tens and 3 ones make

B Watch me, then you4 min

Ola has 4 bags of 5 apples. Ben has 4 bags of 10 apples. How many apples does each child have?

Watch me

Ola has 4 rows of 5, which make 20.

Ben's rows hold 10, which is double 5, so his total doubles.

So Ben has 4 rows of 10, which make 40.

Now you

1.
3 × 5 =
2.
So 3 × 10 =

C Your turn5 min

1.
2 × 5 =
2.
4 × 5 =
3.
4 × 10 =
4.
6 × 10 =

Say it out loud: How is each 10 answer linked to the 5 answer for the same number? Why does that work?

D Spot the mistake2 min

Ben says: “6 × 10 = 60, so 6 × 5 must be 65.”

1.
What is 6 × 5?

E Think deeper4 min

1.
Write every number from 1 to 50 that is a multiple of 5 but not of 10.

How did it feel?

Answers, and what a wrong one tells you

A

1. 40

2. 6

3. 53

B

1. 15 If your child writes 8, they added 3 and 5. Count the 3 rows of 5 dots instead.

2. 30

C

1. 10

2. 20 If your child writes 9, they added 4 and 5. Make 4 rows of 5 and count every dot.

3. 40 If your child writes 14, they added 4 and 10. Count 4 tens instead: 10, 20, 30, 40.

4. 60 If your child writes 30, they used the 5 times table answer for 6 × 5. Double 30 to get 60.

D

1. 30 If your child writes 65, they added 60 and 5. Count the 6 rows of 5 dots. The 10 answer is double the 5 answer, so 6 × 5 is half of 60.

E

1. 5, 15, 25, 35, 45 If your child writes numbers that end in 0, those are also multiples of 10. Ask: does this number end in 5?

Words to use

Say“If you know 4 × 5, what can you do to find 4 × 10?”

Instead of“Make them chant the whole times table until they get it right.”

After the sheet

Put 20 buttons into 4 small piles of 5. Then make piles of 10 and say both facts.

Tick what your child got right in StudyDen. Anything missed comes back in a later Look back box, so there's no need to redo the sheet.
