Multiplying by 5 Color-by-Number Worksheet
By Brian S.
A color-by-number worksheet for 3rd graders that builds fluency with multiplication facts for 5, from 5 × 1 through 5 × 12. Students solve problems, including missing-factor and missing-product items, then color a picture using a product-to-color key.
Customize for your classroom
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as an independent practice or math center activity after students have begun learning the 5s facts, allowing about 20-30 minutes.
- Discussion question: How can counting by 5s help you find 5 × 8 without memorizing it? Ask students to share their skip-counting strategies.
- Scaffold for struggling readers and learners: Provide a skip-counting chart or number line, and read the directions aloud. Start with the first few problems together before releasing students to work independently.
- Extension for advanced students: Have them write a missing-factor word problem for 5 × ______ = 55, or explain why every product of 5 ends in 0 or 5.
- Students who finish early can check their answers by comparing the color key to the picture, which encourages self-correction.
