Third Grade Multiplication Facts and Practice Drills

Multiplication Worksheets and Lessons from Kidport.com

If your third grader needs some extra multiplication review, you may want to check out these free online worksheets and lessons. The free multiplication questions are computer-based, and after entering an answer, your child can instantly see if he or she is correct. This makes the process of completing the sheets very efficient, since you don't have to print them out or correct them manually using an answer key. The downside, of course, is that if your Internet goes out, the sheets won't work.

Animated mini-lessons are offered here for free as well. Your child can select from a list of available animations, and watch as simple multiplication lessons are drawn on the screen. Each animation is just a minute or two long, so even if your child has a short attention span, he or she will probably be able to get through them.

Third Grade Math Worksheets from Math-Salamanders.com

These traditional worksheets and flashcards may make good at-home drills. Each sheet practices multiplication by a single number, such as 6, 7, 8 or 9. For third graders, these single-digit math facts may be tricky to master, but simple drill sheets and flashcards like these might help reduce your child's nervousness when completing multiplication quizzes or even graded homework.

The flashcards have large print, and each one shows a single math fact, like 9 x 3. For a variation on the usual method of holding up a card and asking for the answer, you can lay a set of question cards and answer cards on a table, and have your child match them. None of the free resources here can be completed online. You can find additional math unit materials here as well, from addition to counting money to geometry. You can search the site according to grade level or math type. Both criteria are listed on the left-hand side of the website in a column.
