Third Grade Multiplication Tables: Math Practice for 3rd Graders

An Overview of Third Grade Multiplication

In third grade, your child will be developing his or her multiplication skills base. Your child will be learning how to interpret the products of two whole numbers. As an example, for the problem 4 x 3, your child would need to visualize four groups of three or three groups of four. Multiplying a 1-digit number by a multiple of ten is another skill your child will need to be able to perform.

Your child should be able to identify a missing number in a multiplication equation, as well as to multiply fluently within 100. To be adequately prepared for fourth grade, your child will also need to memorize each of the products of two 1-digit numbers.
