What 5th Grade children learn in math
In 5th Grade, children use fast multiplication table recall for long multiplication, division and fractions, and many extend to 12 × 12.
What the 5th Grade check looks at
2, 5 and 10 multiplication facts
The first tables children learn, by skip counting and then by heart.
- The 2, 5 and 10 multiplication facts: missing numbers and ×12
Curriculum: Common Core 2.OA.C.4
Try at home: Skip count by 2s, 5s and 10s on the way to school, then ask your child to jump straight to “6 fives”.
3, 4 and 8 multiplication facts
Built from doubling: the 4s are double the 2s, the 8s double the 4s.
- The 3, 4 and 8 multiplication facts: missing numbers and ×12
Curriculum: Common Core 3.OA.C.7
Try at home: Practice doubling: if your child knows 3 × 4 = 12, then 3 × 8 is double 12.
6, 7 and 9 multiplication facts
The trickiest facts, usually the last to become automatic.
- The 6, 7 and 9 multiplication facts: missing numbers and ×12
Curriculum: Common Core 3.OA.C.7
Try at home: Learn the 9s with the finger trick and work on two or three 7s and 8s facts at a time.
11 and 12 multiplication facts
Extension facts up to 12 × 12.
- The 11 and 12 multiplication facts: recall
Curriculum: Common Core 4.NBT.B.5
Try at home: Connect 12 × n to 10 × n + 2 × n, for example 12 × 7 = 70 + 14.
Division facts
Using multiplication facts backwards: if 6 × 7 = 42, then 42 ÷ 7 = 6.
- Division facts: missing numbers and ×12
Curriculum: Common Core 3.OA.C.7
Try at home: Every time you practice a multiplication table fact, ask the matching division fact too.

Questions parents ask
Which multiplication facts should a 5th Grade child know?
See “What 5th Grade children learn” above. As a guide, most curricula expect the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication facts first, then the 3s, 4s and 8s, and all facts to 10 × 10 by about Year 4 (4th Grade in the US).
Why is the test timed?
Eight seconds is enough to recall a fact but not to count it out. Quick recall frees up working memory for harder problems, so speed and accuracy together are the best sign that a table is learned.
Is it free?
Yes. The test and the full report are free, and there is no sign-up to start.
What if my child runs out of time?
That is fine. A question that runs out of time counts as one to practice, and the next one in that table is a little easier.
How can we practice at home?
A few minutes a day beats one long session. Focus on two or three facts at a time, say each one with its division fact, and try our free multiplication facts games.
