Learning about times tables and sharing

In this Grade 5 math collection, you can practice Multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1,000. Choose a game above for a short activity, or explore the examples below before you play. The full guide for each game explains its controls, gives more examples and includes a free printable for practice away from the screen.

Talk it through

Use counters, a drawing or a number line before moving to a mental method. Ask your child to explain a choice, then change one number and try the method again.

Ask: “How could you show the same answer another way?” Give your child time to explain. Return to an example after playing and ask whether they would approach it differently.

Multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1,000

This sprint includes whole numbers and decimals, such as 3.7 × 100 = 370 and 45 ÷ 1,000 = 0.045. Answers never have more than three decimal places, matching the curriculum. You can type answers with or without commas (both 4,500 and 4500 are accepted).

Try an example: 3.7 × 100 = ?

Each digit moves two places left: 3 ones becomes 3 hundreds, 7 tenths becomes 7 tens.

370

What to look out for

'Adding a zero' to decimals: 3.5 × 10 written as 3.50. Adding a zero to the end of a decimal doesn't change its value. Use a place value chart and move the digits instead.

  • Convert units: 3.5 kg is 3,500 g (× 1,000), 250 cm is 2.5 m (÷ 100).

Curriculum connections

Multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1,000

Supplemental place-value practice with powers of ten; a useful connection to 5.NBT.A.2, not full coverage of that standard.

Questions families ask

Where should we start with times tables and sharing?

Start with Multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1,000. Look at the worked example together, then try a round. If the task feels unfamiliar, use the full game guide or its free printable before trying again.

Does this cover everything taught at this level?

No. These games provide focused practice. Grade suggestions do not replace your school’s curriculum, and any Common Core connection applies only to the skill described.
