Mathematics

Multiplying by Multiples of 10 is a Grade 3 mathematics worksheet that helps students solve multiplication facts involving numbers such as 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, and 90. It includes 15 multiple-choice questions that move from straightforward equations to equal-groups word problems and prompts that connect a basic fact, such as 4 × 6, to a related fact, such as 40 × 6. Students practise identifying how a multiple of 10 changes a multiplication product, applying that relationship accurately, and selecting the correct answer from plausible choices. The tiger-ticket and cafeteria-quarter problems also ask students to interpret multiplication in real situations. Use this free printable worksheet for Grade 3 practice, independent work, review, or a quick formative check. A complete answer key is included to support efficient checking and feedback.

FAQs

What does this multiplying by multiples of 10 worksheet cover?

This Grade 3 worksheet uses 15 multiple-choice questions to practise multiplying one-digit numbers by multiples of 10, such as 40 × 6, 70 × 5, and 4 × 50. Students solve equations, apply basic facts to related facts such as 4 × 6 and 40 × 6, and use multiplication in equal-groups word problems.

How can I use this worksheet to teach multiplying by multiples of 10?

Begin by modelling a basic fact such as 4 × 6, then show how the related 40 × 6 problem changes the product. Have students explain the relationship before completing the direct-equation items, and finish with the tiger-ticket and cafeteria-quarter word problems so they connect the calculation to equal groups. Ask students to justify why an answer such as 240 fits 3 groups of 80.

What mistakes should I watch for on this worksheet?

Students may calculate the related one-digit fact but fail to account for the zero when solving problems such as 60 × 9 or 90 × 4. They may also choose an answer based on adding the factors, reversing the number of groups and items, or overlooking the multiplication relationship in the ticket and quarter word problems. Review the basic fact and ask students to estimate whether the product should be in the tens or hundreds.

How do I assign and grade this multiplying by multiples of 10 worksheet?

Wayground provides this worksheet as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz, so you can use the 15 multiple-choice items for paper practice or online assignment. It includes a complete answer key, and printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app. The printable format can also support schools that are reducing screen time.

How can I differentiate this worksheet for my students?

Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing or choose a larger font size when students need more room to read the multiplication equations and word-problem text. You can also apply a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language to make the equal-groups scenarios and multiple-choice directions more accessible.
