Yes. Simple multiplication and even division and fractions are part of the national curriculum at ages 5 to 6 in the UK. Which is about the age when I remember learning them decades ago too. I think we learned how to add and multiply fractions too.
By age 6 to 7 they're expected to understand that addition and multiplication are commutative, while subtraction and division are not.
