Multiply by 0s and 1s is a free printable Grade 3 mathematics worksheet that helps students build fluency with the identity and zero properties of multiplication. Students solve 24 equations, including 22 fill-in-the-blank items and 2 multiple-choice questions, using facts in which one factor is 1 or 0. The practice includes products such as 1 × 1 through 1 × 10 and equations with zero as a factor, reinforcing that multiplying by 1 keeps a number unchanged while multiplying by 0 produces 0. This worksheet is useful for introducing these foundational multiplication rules, providing independent practice, or checking whether students can apply them without relying on repeated addition. The short equation format makes it easy to identify whether learners understand the rule or are confusing the roles of 0 and 1. Use the included answer key for quick review, correction, or assessment. The worksheet is available as a free printable PDF with an answer key for Grade 3 classrooms.

This Grade 3 mathematics worksheet practices applying the identity and zero properties of multiplication. Students complete 22 fill-in-the-blank equations and 2 multiple-choice items, including facts such as 1 × 1 through 1 × 10 and equations with 0 as a factor, so they learn to recognize when the product stays the same and when it must be 0.
Introduce the two rules with a few equations from the worksheet: compare 1 × 4 with 4 and 0 × 4 with 0. Ask students to explain what changes in each equation before they complete the fill-in-the-blank items, then use the multiple-choice questions for a quick check of whether they can select the correct product rather than copy a pattern.
Watch for students treating multiplication by 1 as multiplication by 0, writing 0 for equations such as 1 × 7, or copying the other factor incorrectly. Students may also miss that any equation in this worksheet with 0 as one factor has a product of 0, including cases where 0 appears first or second.
On Wayground, assign the worksheet as a printable PDF or as a digital quiz. It includes a complete answer key, and printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app. The PDF option also supports schools that want to reduce screen time while students practise the multiplication rules.
For the short fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice equations on this worksheet, use Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing or choose a larger font size for easier tracking. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when that better supports access to the multiplication practice.
