About this resource
Description
The properties of multiplication help students see that numbers can be moved and broken apart without changing a product. This ballet multiplication worksheet builds that understanding with sequin arrays, so third graders can see why 4 × 6 and 6 × 4 make the same total and how a big array splits into two easier facts.
In this sheet, Isla sews shiny sequins onto her ballet costumes in neat rows. Students read each short story, study the sequin array, and write two number sentences in the boxes. In the first two problems they turn the array to write the matching fact. In the next two they use a dashed line to break the array into two smaller parts, multiply each part, and add to find the total. A final question asks students to explain in their own words why turning an array keeps the total the same. Use it after a lesson on arrays, as a math center, or as homework.
What’s Included
- One 3rd grade worksheet with five sequin array problems
- Two commutative property problems and two distributive property problems with coded arrays
- One short written explanation question
- A complete answer key on the second page
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, the arrays give students a picture of every fact, so the properties make sense instead of being memorized rules. Second, breaking a large array into two smaller facts is a strategy students will use for harder facts all year. Third, the written explanation builds math vocabulary and the habit of telling how they know an answer is right.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Have students build each array with counters or buttons before filling in the boxes. Ask them to find a different way to split the arrays in problems 3 and 4 and check that the total stays the same. For extra practice, give students a total such as 24 sequins and let them draw every rectangle they can make. Use this ballet multiplication worksheet as a quick check before a quiz, or pair it with another 3rd grade multiplication worksheet on arrays.
