Questions about Think Multiplication

What does the Think Multiplication worksheet cover?

It practises solving division by recalling the matching multiplication — 12 questions for Grade 3, all on Common Core 3.OA.B.6: See division as finding the missing factor. The instruction to pupils is “Fill in both blanks”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

Which Common Core standard does Think Multiplication practise?

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.B.6 — 3.OA.B.6, in the Operations & Algebraic Thinking domain for Grade 3. The published standard reads: “Understand division as an unknown-factor problem.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.

What age or grade is this worksheet for?

Think Multiplication is written for Grade 3, typically ages 8-9. It is one of the sheets on 3.OA.B.6, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.

Does Think Multiplication come with an answer key?

Yes. All 12 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.

How many different versions of Think Multiplication can I print?

25 — one per pupil, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.

Is Think Multiplication free to print and photocopy?

Yes. Think Multiplication, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
