Teaching tips and what to try next

A good starting page for third graders who understand multiplication as equal groups and are beginning to learn facts. Making a small card for each of the three rules and reading the right one aloud before answering cuts down on mixing up times 0 and times 1. Next, learn the 2s through 5s in Multiplication Facts 2-5 or extend the tens rule in Multiplying by Multiples of 10.

10 versions, each with its own answer key

Same skill and layout, a fresh set of problems in every version, so children can keep practicing without repeating a page. Problems are not repeated between versions unless a skill has only a small number of possible problems (for example, the addition facts within 10).

About this worksheet

Multiplying by 0, 1 and 10 follows three simple rules, and learning them early takes a big chunk of the multiplication table off a child's plate. Any number times 0 is 0, any number times 1 is that number, and any number times 10 gets a zero on the end. This third-grade worksheet gives thirty facts that practice all three rules.

Every fact has 0, 1 or 10 as one of its factors, and the other factor is a number from 0 to 12. The special factor can be on the top or the bottom, so children see that the order does not change the product. The facts are mixed on the page, so children need to look at each one before answering instead of following a pattern down a column. Each of the ten versions has a new mix of facts and its own answer key.

How to use it: before the worksheet, talk through each rule with a quick story. Three plates with no cookies on them is 3 × 0, so there are no cookies at all. Three plates with one cookie each is 3 × 1, which is 3 cookies. Three groups of ten fingers is 3 × 10, which is 30. Children often mix up the first two rules and write 7 for 7 × 0, so ask your child to say the rule out loud for a few problems.

The answer key gives every product. For the next set of facts, try our Multiplication Facts 2-5 worksheet. To use the tens rule with bigger numbers, try our Multiplying by Multiples of 10 worksheet.
