🏪 Market Story

Tunde counts ₦5 coins at his father's keke stand. Each coin is worth ₦5. With 1 coin: ₦5. With 2 coins: ₦10. With 3 coins: ₦15. He's counting by 5s — that's the 5 times table!

📝 Let's Learn

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

Notice: every answer ends in 5 or 0. Odd numbers × 5 end in 5. Even numbers × 5 end in 0.

Example 1: 7 × 5 = 35. (7 is odd, so it ends in 5.)

Example 2: 8 × 5 = 40. (8 is even, so it ends in 0.)

Example 3: Funke has 6 coins of ₦5. Total: 6 × ₦5 = ₦30.
