Multiples of 10 Multiplication is a free printable Grade 3 mathematics worksheet with an answer key. It helps students practise multiplying by 10 and 100 and extends the pattern to multiplying by 1,000, using place value to determine each product. The worksheet includes eight items: six fill-in-the-blank questions and two drawing-based tasks. Students calculate products such as 36 × 10 and 36 × 1,000, complete place-value representations for 29 × 10 and 85 × 100, and find missing factors in equations such as 15 × ___ = 1,500 and ___ × 100 = 1,000. It is useful for introducing, reinforcing, or checking students’ understanding of how powers of ten affect the digits in a number.

Answer KeyThis Grade 3 worksheet develops multiplication by 10, 100, and 1,000 through six fill-in-the-blank items and two drawing-based place-value tasks. Students calculate products, complete representations for equations such as 29 × 10 and 85 × 100, and identify missing factors in equations such as 15 × ___ = 1,500. These varied formats connect written multiplication facts to the place-value changes behind the answers.
First model one product, such as 36 × 10, with a place-value chart and have students explain how each digit’s value changes. Then use the drawing tasks for 29 × 10 and 85 × 100 before assigning the fill-in-the-blank products and missing-factor equations. Ask students to compare 36 × 10 with 36 × 1,000 and explain why the number of place-value shifts differs.
Students may confuse the number of place-value shifts, especially when moving from multiplying by 10 to multiplying by 100 or 1,000. In the missing-factor items, they may multiply the visible number instead of solving for the factor, such as overlooking that ___ × 10 = 50 requires 5. Check that students use the place-value chart accurately in the drawing tasks rather than relying on an unexplained rule.
On Wayground, you can assign this worksheet as a printable PDF or as a digital quiz, and it includes a complete answer key for all eight items. Printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app. The PDF option can also support classrooms or schools that are reducing screen time.
Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing or choose a larger font size so the multiplication equations, blank spaces, and drawing areas are easier to read and complete. You can also apply a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when that supports access to the place-value tasks and missing-factor equations.
