ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts Multiplication & Division – 5 x 8 = 40
Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn about a fun math fact: 5 times 8 equals 40. Let’s explore what this means and how you can remember it easily!
When we say 5 times 8, we’re talking about adding the number 5 together 8 times. So, if you have 5 apples and you get 8 groups of them, you will have 40 apples in total. That’s why 5 x 8 equals 40!
Another way to understand this is by counting by 8s. Let’s count together: 8, 16, 24, 32, and finally 40. See? When you count by 8s five times, you reach 40!
Here are some fun tips to help you remember that 5 x 8 = 40:

Apple Grouping Activity: Gather 40 small objects like buttons, coins, or toy blocks. Divide them into 8 equal groups. How many objects are in each group? Now, try dividing them into 5 equal groups. How many objects are in each group this time? This activity helps you see how multiplication and division work together.
Counting by 8s Hopscotch: Create a hopscotch grid outside or on the floor using tape. Label each square with multiples of 8 (8, 16, 24, 32, 40). As you hop from one square to the next, say the numbers out loud. This will help you remember the sequence and understand how counting by 8s leads to 40.
Story Time with Multiplication: Create a short story or draw a picture about a character who has 5 baskets with 8 apples in each basket. How many apples does the character have in total? Share your story or drawing with a friend or family member and explain how you used multiplication to find the answer.
