TheSchoolRun.com closure date

As we informed you a few months ago, TheSchoolRun has had to make the difficult decision to close due to financial pressures and the company has now ceased trading. We had hoped to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.

As a result, we now have to permanently close TheSchoolRun.com. However, to give subscribers time to download any content they’d like to keep, we will keep the website open until 31st July 2025. After this date, the site will be taken down and there will be no further access to any resources. We strongly encourage you to download and save any resources you think you may want to use in the future.

In particular, we suggest downloading:

You should already have received 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep. If you haven’t received these, please contact us at [email protected] before 31st July 2025, and we will send them to you.

We are very sorry that there is no way to continue offering access to resources and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.

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.
