Once the two times table and ten times table have been learned the next easiest is probably the five times table. Practice first of all with counting up in fives, starting from zero. Then move on to saying the whole table in words. remember to say, ‘One five is five, two fives are ten’ etc rather than just 5, 10, 15 etc. of course multiples of 5 always end in 5 or 0, making this easier to earn.
Some children learn their fives by halving the ten times table, but you need to be very confident with halving to use this method.
