The 5 Times Table: Mermaid Lagoon

Splash into Mermaid Lagoon, where things come in fives! Every starfish has 5 arms, every sea flower has 5 petals and the mermaids wear necklaces with 5 shiny pearls.

The 5 times table

  • 1 × 5 = 5
  • 2 × 5 = 10
  • 3 × 5 = 15
  • 4 × 5 = 20
  • 5 × 5 = 25
  • 6 × 5 = 30
  • 7 × 5 = 35
  • 8 × 5 = 40
  • 9 × 5 = 45
  • 10 × 5 = 50
  • 11 × 5 = 55
  • 12 × 5 = 60

Magic trick: Answers in the 5 times table always end in 5 or 0. It’s also half of the 10 times table: 5 × 8 is half of 80, which is 40.
