Multiplication and division - The 3 times table - Worksheet

The worksheet titled "The 3 Times Tables" is a comprehensive resource for children to enhance their fluency and precision in multiplying by three. It aligns with the National Curriculum objective of writing and calculating mathematical statements for multiplication and division using known multiplication tables. The worksheet provides a variety of exercises that encourage children to draw on their multiplication and division knowledge, specifically focusing on the three times table. To facilitate learning, differentiated sheets and teaching slides are available as resources. The vocabulary for the lesson includes fundamental terms like 'multiplication' and 'division'.

Children are invited to practice the three times table in both sequential and random order, filling in missing numbers to complete multiplication sentences. For example, they learn that one triangle has three sides, so 1 x 3 = 3, while two triangles have six sides, leading to 2 x 3 = 6, and so on. Additionally, the worksheet presents reasoning and problem-solving challenges that involve sorting cards in a loop based on the result of calculations, and performing a rhythmic pattern where actions like clapping or clicking are determined by whether the beat number is a multiple of three. This engaging approach helps children apply their knowledge to different contexts and solidify their understanding of the three times table.
