How to use this worksheet
- Count by fives on your fingers for problem 2, 40 ÷ 5: five, ten, fifteen... forty is the eighth finger, so 8.
- Solve problems 1 to 10, which contain each fact once; problem 11 starts the second round, again with 50 ÷ 5.
- For harder problems, try doubling and dividing by 10: 35 ÷ 5 becomes 70 ÷ 10 = 7.
- Check with the answer page and say the matching multiplication for each answer.
What this worksheet teaches
Every problem divides a multiple of 5, from 5 to 50, by 5, so all answers are whole numbers from 1 to 10. Each fact appears exactly twice. Because every number here ends in 5 or 0, children also meet a divisibility rule: only numbers ending in 5 or 0 can be divided by 5 without a remainder.
Double, then divide by 10
Dividing by 5 gives the same answer as doubling the number and dividing by 10. For 45 ÷ 5: 45 doubled is 90, and 90 ÷ 10 = 9. For 35 ÷ 5: 70, then 7. It works because 5 is half of 10, so there are twice as many fives in a number as there are tens. The trick is handy later, with bigger numbers too.
