Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. The 5 times table can be represented in different ways with groups of 5
  2. The 5 times table can be recorded as skip counting in 5 on a number line.
  3. The number of counts is one of the factors and the skip size of 5 is the other factor.
  4. 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.
