Let’s solve each multiplication problem step by step. Remember, multiplying by 5 is like counting by 5s: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and so on.
We’ll go row by row, left to right.

Left Column:
1. 5 × 1 = 5
(One group of 5 is just 5)
2. 5 × 2 = 10
(Two groups of 5: 5 + 5 = 10)
3. 5 × 3 = 15
(Three groups of 5: 5 + 5 + 5 = 15)
4. 5 × 4 = 20
(Four groups of 5: 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20)
5. 5 × 5 = 25
(Five groups of 5: 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 25)
6. 5 × 6 = 30
(Six groups of 5: 5 × 6 = 30 — or think: 5 × 5 = 25, plus one more 5 = 30)
7. 5 × 7 = 35
(Seven groups of 5: 5 × 7 = 35 — or 5 × 6 = 30, plus 5 = 35)
8. 5 × 8 = 40
(Eight groups of 5: 5 × 8 = 40 — or 5 × 7 = 35, plus 5 = 40)
9. 5 × 9 = 45
(Nine groups of 5: 5 × 9 = 45 — or 5 × 8 = 40, plus 5 = 45)
10. 5 × 10 = 50
(Ten groups of 5: 5 × 10 = 50 — easy! Just add a zero to 5)
11. 5 × 3 = 15
(Same as #3 — three groups of 5 = 15)
12. 5 × 4 = 20
(Same as #4 — four groups of 5 = 20)
13. 5 × 7 = 35
(Same as #7 — seven groups of 5 = 35)
---
Right Column:
1. 2 × 5 = 10
(Two groups of 5 = 10 — same as 5 × 2)
2. 5 × 5 = 25
(Same as left column #5)
3. 8 × 5 = 40
(Eight groups of 5 = 40 — same as 5 × 8)
4. 3 × 5 = 15
(Three groups of 5 = 15 — same as 5 × 3)
5. 6 × 5 = 30
(Six groups of 5 = 30 — same as 5 × 6)
6. 10 × 5 = 50
(Ten groups of 5 = 50 — same as 5 × 10)
7. 1 × 5 = 5
(One group of 5 = 5 — same as 5 × 1)
8. 9 × 5 = 45
(Nine groups of 5 = 45 — same as 5 × 9)
9. 5 × 5 = 25
(Again, five groups of 5 = 25)
10. 4 × 5 = 20
(Four groups of 5 = 20 — same as 5 × 4)
11. 7 × 5 = 35
(Seven groups of 5 = 35 — same as 5 × 7)
12. 12 × 5 = 60
(Twelve groups of 5: Think 10 × 5 = 50, plus 2 × 5 = 10 → 50 + 10 = 60)
13. 15 × 5 = 75
(Fifteen groups of 5: Think 10 × 5 = 50, plus 5 × 5 = 25 → 50 + 25 = 75)

Final Answer:
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 15, 20, 35, 10, 25, 40, 15, 30, 50, 5, 45, 25, 20, 35, 60, 75
