Grade 5 multiplication test
A free Grade 5 multiplication test online, with answers, for South African learners following CAPS. It draws questions from 3 topics and the numbers change every time, so a child can take it again and again and never meet the same paper twice. Choose 10, 25 or 50 questions.
Grade 5 multiplies a three-digit number by a two-digit number and works with multiples and factors of two-digit numbers, including prime numbers. In the Department of Basic Education’s teaching plan, Grade 5 multiplication is taught in Term 2. It is tested in the Grade 5 maths Term 2 (June) test, and again in the final exam.
Every answer is marked as you go, with the working shown, so a wrong answer teaches something instead of only costing a mark. Forgetting the zero placeholder on the second line of long multiplication, and gaps in the times tables — 7 × 8 and 6 × 7 cause most of the wrong answers.
