About this resource

Description

Multiplying single-digit numbers is one of the biggest math milestones of third grade. Once students know their facts from 1 to 9 by heart, they can solve story problems, find area, and start dividing with confidence. This matching single digit multiplication worksheet turns fact practice into a quick, hands-on puzzle that kids can check as they go.

The worksheet starts with six multiplication facts, each in a bright blue pill. Students solve each fact and draw a line to its product in the column on the right. The products are mixed up, so children have to work out every answer instead of guessing by position. Next, they read three puppy-themed story problems about dog beds, puppy food and treats, then write each answer in a box. The last problem takes two steps: multiply first, then add. Use it as morning work, a math center, homework or a quick check after a lesson on multiplication facts.

What’s Included

  • A one-page matching single digit multiplication worksheet with six facts to match
  • Three multiplication story problems, including one two-step problem
  • An answer key with every matching line and answer filled in

Why It Helps Kids

First, matching facts to products builds fluency with the times tables in a low-stress way. Second, the story problems show students when to multiply in real life, which is what a 3rd grade multiplication worksheet should do. Third, the two-step problem stretches thinking and prepares kids for the multi-step questions they will see on state tests.

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

Before students begin, skip count together by fours, sixes or eights to warm up. After they finish, have children explain how they solved the two-step problem, or ask them to write their own story problem for one of the facts in the matching section. At home, turn everyday moments into multiplication, such as counting snacks in several bowls or shoes by the pair.
