How can I place five tables on a page, in a 3x2 matrix?
You can put the tables into minipages or parboxes or use the subfig
package. Just remember that you can't put multiple table
environments together, but you can put multiple tabular
environments (with captions and labels) within a single table
environment. The subfig
documentation has information about both techniques.
Here's an example using both parboxes
and minipages
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{booktabs}
