Multiplication Times Table for Kids - Five Times Table

Kids and multiplication means lots of different methods and games which they could learn and play and that is exactly the main focus of LearningMole, to give parents the ideas which they could depend on to teach their kids math while homeschooling them.

Multiplication for kids is not easy, for them it is a little bit hard especially at the beginning of it all and that is the reason why parents homeschooling their kids and teachers at school should always bring out easy and creative ideas through which the kids could learn something in an easy way.

From the initials of multiplication, times tables come at the beginning and these help in teaching the kids how to easily memorize a times table of a specific number. Memorization will never be effective without understanding how the multiplication table at hand is counted, so kids will first understand and then they will move forward to start counting and multiplying two numbers together.

In this video the multiplication table that is dealt with is for number five and through the different school grades this was considered the easiest of them all because the numbers are just transitions between numbers with either a zero at the end or else a five.

The times table of number five is as follows:
5 x 1 = 5
5 x 2 = 10
5 x 3 = 15
5 x 4 = 20
5 x 5 = 25
5 x 6 = 30
5 x 7 = 35
5 x 8 = 40
5 x 9 = 45
5 x 10 = 50

The times table could keep going further to bigger numbers but at this point it would be harder for the kids to memorize it all and keep all the different times tables in their heads. At this point and since the mathematical equation will itself become harder for the kids, they could at this point depend on a multiplication method known as the grid method (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3duqrhE8Xw).

Multiplication is one of the different mathematical operations in the world of math and it might not be the easiest as addition, but for some kids it is still easier for them than division (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVM8iQMaZN8). Multiplication vocabulary carry several different words which could help the kids know that what is being asked from them is to multiply and these words include double, times, and other words as well (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trlXHFaeZYw).

There are lots of methods used with multiplication that comes in addition to memorizing the times tables, there is also the methods used with the Lego pieces that could help the kids to count the numbers and get the final answer they are searching for (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPW1bmLTFdA), there is also the number line method that is used with all the different mathematical operations such as addition and subtraction for example (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v0AjM0jcPA) and of course we have to say that the ordinary methods done with using a pen and a paper are also different because there are lots of things that could be actually done with them.

Times tables are actually easy - they were hard in school when we first knew about them - especially when the kids get to understand how it is all done and counted and then they get used to it all and even if they forgot a specific number, they could do the counting instantly.

Math means knowing all about the numbers and learning how to count and this counting differs according to the question that the kid is asked. Sometimes mathematical questions come in the form of story problems and this is when the kids are supposed to pay close attention, highlight the words that might end up being of any help and eventually translate the words into numbers and know what they are asked to do (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pWka6dk3b4).

Multiplication could be taught through so many different ways and all the methods or even the ideas that parents and teachers should come up with, should be creative and exciting enough for the kids to make them interested in the whole teaching process and in learning more mathematical operations.
