Erin is working out how many stickers she has. She has 8 sheets with 5 stickers on each.

How many stickers does Erin have altogether?

  1. 1

    Recognise the 5 times table pattern

    • Multiples of 5 always end in 5 or 0
    • Count in 5s: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40
  2. 2

    Find the answer

    • The 8th multiple of 5 is 408 × 5 = 40

Erin has 40 stickers altogether.

The key insight: The 5 times table has an easy pattern - answers always end in 5 or 0!

Common mix-up: 8 × 5 = 35 (counting 7 jumps instead of 8). Remember to count all 8 groups of 5, not 7. Start from 0, not from 5.

Mistakes to watch for

These are the misconceptions we see most often in times tables 2-10, including the ones our practice questions are specifically designed to catch.

  • Not knowing 7x8, 6x7, 8x9 (hardest facts)
  • Not using commutativity (e.g., 8x7 = 7x8)
  • Mixing up similar facts (e.g., 6x8 and 7x8)
