This Grade 3 mathematics worksheet helps students connect multiplication with repeated addition and visual models. Across 10 questions, students select matching addition and multiplication sentences for pictured groups, identify pictures that represent 4 × 3 and 2 × 10, and solve multiplication facts such as 4 × 6 and 10 × 2 using drawings or repeated addition.
The worksheet also applies the skill to two short word problems involving equal groups, including paint boxes with eight colors each and balloons shared among three students. It includes four multiple-select questions and six multiple-choice questions, giving teachers varied evidence of whether students can interpret factors, represent equal groups, and find a product. This free printable worksheet includes a complete answer key for efficient review and grading.

FAQs
What does the Multiplication as Repeated Addition worksheet cover?
This Grade 3 worksheet teaches students to represent multiplication with repeated addition, pictures, and equal groups. Its 10 items ask students to select matching addition and multiplication sentences, identify visual models for 4 × 3 and 2 × 10, solve products using drawings or repeated addition, and apply multiplication to two equal-group word problems.
How can I use this worksheet to teach multiplication as repeated addition?
Begin by modeling one pictured example as equal groups, writing the repeated-addition sentence, and then connecting it to the multiplication sentence. As students complete the four multiple-select items, have them explain why both selected sentences describe the same picture; then use the picture-identification, computation, and word-problem items to move from visual models to independent application.
What mistakes should I watch for when students complete this worksheet?
Students may select only one of the two required sentences in the multiple-select items or choose an addition sentence with the wrong number of repeated addends. They may also reverse the number of groups and the number in each group when interpreting the pictures, or choose an incorrect product in the drawing and word-problem questions by adding the factors instead of representing equal groups.
How do I assign and grade this Multiplication as Repeated Addition worksheet?
On Wayground, assign this worksheet either as a printable PDF or as a digital quiz, and use the complete answer key to check the pictured representations, multiplication facts, and equal-group word problems.
