Repeated addition worksheet (5x table)

A bright, cheerful worksheet created by an experience teacher, which will help your child master the concept of repeated addition and how it relates to multiplication.

What is repeated addition?

Repeated addition is a method of adding the same number multiple times to find the total amount. It's a fundamental concept that helps understand basic arithmetic and multiplication. It's often used to find the total amount when you have several groups of the same size.

What is an example of repeated addition?

Let's say you have 3 groups of apples, and each group has 4 apples. 

To find out how many apples you have in total, you can use repeated addition. You would add 4 (apples in each group) three times:

4 + 4 + 4 = 12

So, using repeated addition, you've found that you have 12 apples in total.

You can also use repeated addition to help children understand multiplication. You can explain that 5 x 3 is the same as 5 + 5 + 5 = 15.
