3rd Grade True or False Multiplication Worksheet: Check 12 Facts

Many false facts fail a quick test before any real calculation. A product of 5 always ends in 0 or 5, so 7 × 5 = 37 and 5 × 3 = 17 cannot be right.

A product of 10 ends in 0, and products of 2 and 4 are even. The ending digit catches the wrong answer in seconds. Then your child works out the true product: 35 and 15.

Item i, 3 × 3 = 6, mixes up times and plus. 3 + 3 is 6, but three groups of 3 make 9. Item c, 10 × 10 = 110, adds an extra 1; ten tens make 100.

Item f, 8 × 4 = 24, borrows the answer of a neighbor fact, 6 × 4. Ask your child to name the fact that gives 24, then find 8 × 4 = 32. Reading each fact out loud, like "eight times four", helps children hear the slip.

Five facts on the page are false. Once the answer key on page two confirms the ticks, your child rewrites each of the five with the right product.

Then swap roles: write two true and two false facts for your child to sort, and let them write a few for you. Checking multiplication facts this way builds the habit of looking twice.
