Important update from TheSchoolRun

For the past 13 years, TheSchoolRun has been run by a small team of mums working from home, dedicated to providing quality educational resources to primary school parents. Unfortunately, rising supplier costs and falling revenue have made it impossible for us to continue operating, and we’ve had to make the difficult decision to close. The good news: We’ve arranged for another educational provider to take over many of our resources. These will be hosted on a new portal, where the content will be updated and expanded to support your child’s learning.

What this means for subscribers:

  • Your subscription is still active, and for now, you can keep using the website as normal — just log in with your usual details to access all our articles and resources*.
  • In a few months, all resources will move to the new portal. You’ll continue to have access there until your subscription ends. We’ll send you full details nearer the time.
  • As a thank you for your support, we’ll also be sending you 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep.

A few changes to be aware of:

  • The Learning Journey weekly email has ended, but your child’s plan will still be updated on your dashboard each Monday. Just log in to see the recommended worksheets.
  • The 11+ weekly emails have now ended. We sent you all the remaining emails in the series at the end of March — please check your inbox (and spam folder) if you haven’t seen them. You can also follow the full programme here: 11+ Learning Journey.

If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected]. Thank you for being part of our journey it’s been a privilege to support your family’s learning.

*If you need to reset your password, it will still work as usual. Please check your spam folder if the reset email doesn’t appear in your inbox.

Repeated addition worksheet (5x table)

Repeated addition (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.


Keystage:  KS1, Year 1, Year 2


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. 

How will this repeated addition worksheet help my child?

This teacher-created worksheet focuses on the 5 times table. It helps your child understand how multiplication works and gives them plenty of opportunity to practise repeated addition and then translate it into a multiplication sum. 

If your child is ready for the next challenge, we have plenty of repeated addition worksheets to keep them going, such as our 6 times table as repeated addition worksheet.
