Multiplication and Division - The 3 times table - Worksheet

The '3 Times Tables' worksheet is an educational resource designed to enhance fluency and precision in multiplication and division within the context of the three times table. Aimed at Year 6 students, the worksheet aligns with the National Curriculum objective to write and calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division using known multiplication tables. To facilitate learning, differentiated sheets and teaching slides are provided as resources. Students are encouraged to draw upon their existing knowledge of multiplication and division by three, applying this understanding to various contexts to gain proficiency in the three times table.

The worksheet exercises challenge children to complete tables by filling in missing products that correspond to multiplying the number of triangles by three to find the total number of sides. For example, one triangle has three sides, so one times three equals three. As the difficulty increases, students are presented with problems that require them to deduce missing figures in a sequence or to sort cards into a loop based on calculations. Additionally, reasoning and problem-solving activities are incorporated, prompting students to use rhythm patterns to identify multiples of three and to explain their reasoning. This interactive approach not only aids in memorising the three times table but also develops critical thinking skills.
