- If you subtract 5 from a multiple of 5 you get the previous multiple of 5

Common misconception
Pupils may not understand the keyword adjacent and have difficulty understanding the word problems.
Model correct usage in a range of contexts including labelling abstract equations and using the term to identify the known elements in worded problems. Take time to show adjacent on number lines connecting to addition and subtraction of equal groups.
Provide pupils with plenty of practice of the five times tables over an extended period of time until children are fluent in the isolated multiplication facts. At this stage, they can recite the five times table up to the required number of fives in order to find the answers.
