3rd Grade Mixed Multiplication Facts Worksheet: Tables of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10
After learning the tables one at a time, children need to mix them. This 3rd grade mixed multiplication facts worksheet does that with 12 facts in columns, labeled a to l. Each fact draws on the 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 times table, in no fixed order. A girl with pigtails runs past the title. The mix shows whether a child really knows each table or only recites it in order. A second page gives the answer key.
Find the friendly factor
In each fact, one number usually belongs to a table your child knows well. In 10 × 9, the 10 is the friendly factor: nine tens make 90.
Turnaround facts help here. 10 × 9 and 9 × 10 give the same answer, so children can start from whichever number feels easier. Item k, 8 × 12, steps outside the five tables; split it as 8 × 10 plus 8 × 2 to reach 96.
At the table: same answer, different facts
Items e and g, 4 × 4 and 8 × 2, both make 16. Pointing this out shows that one product can come from more than one pair of factors.
Factors 11 and 12 and the products 100 and 120 go beyond the third grade goal of facts within 100. They are a stretch, and the times table for 10 makes most of them friendly.
After the page: fact cards
Make ten cards with facts from the five tables and shuffle them. Your child answers each card, and the slow ones go back in the pile for tomorrow.
Then open the answer key on page two and check the column multiplication answers together. A wrong answer in one table tells you exactly what to practice next.
