These grade 3 multiplication worksheets run from what a product means, through facts to 10 × 10 a few tables at a time, to unknown numbers, multiples of 10 and word problems. Texas classes add 2-digit × 1-digit in columns.

What third grade covers, and where Texas goes further
The Common Core keeps grade 3 inside 100: every product of two one-digit numbers from memory (3.OA.7), plus one-digit numbers times multiples of 10 such as 6 × 40 (3.NBT.3). Texas 3.4(G) adds two-digit by one-digit, so the multiplication worksheets for 3rd grade include 2-digit × 1-digit in columns as Texas or stretch work.
Which facts to print first
Start with Equal groups to a multiplication sentence, so 6 × 7 means 6 groups of 7 before 42. Then × 2, × 5 and × 10, then × 3, × 4 and × 6 as doubles, then × 7, × 8 and × 9, where only 6 facts are new.
A multiplication worksheet 3rd grade pupils meet every morning needs only 30 facts from one group of tables. Save the 40-fact mixed sheet for review.
On the word problem sheets, have pupils write the equation with a symbol for the unknown number first, as standard 3.OA.3 asks.
Questions and answers
Are grade 3 (3rd grade) multiplication worksheets the same in every state?
Not quite. The Common Core and Texas both expect facts to 10 × 10 from memory and one-step and two-step word problems. Texas adds two-digit by one-digit multiplication and times as much comparisons in grade 3. The Common Core holds both for grade 4.
What do multiplication 3rd grade math worksheets need to cover?
In the Common Core: the meaning of a product (3.OA.1), word problems within 100 (3.OA.3), unknown numbers (3.OA.4), the properties as strategies (3.OA.5), fluent facts (3.OA.7), two-step problems (3.OA.8) and table patterns (3.OA.9). The sheets here cover the first five.
Are these multiplication worksheets grade 3 printable for Texas classes too?
Yes. 2-digit × 1-digit in columns covers 3.4(G), the fact sheets stop at 10 × 10 as 3.4(F) asks, and Unknown number in a multiplication equation follows 3.5(D). Common Core classes can leave the 2-digit work out.
Should third graders learn the 11 and 12 times tables?
Neither document asks for them. The Common Core says products of two one-digit numbers, and Texas says up to 10 by 10, so every fact sheet here stops at 10 × 10. For tables to 12, use the multiplication worksheet generator.
All 14 sheet types
What multiplication means 1
Equal groups to a multiplication sentence4 groups of 6 is 4 × 6 = 24. The Common Core opens grade 3 here (3.OA.1): a product is the total number of objects in so many groups of so many each.
Facts to 10 × 10, in teaching order 6
Break apart a hard fact8 × 7 = 8 × 5 + 8 × 2 = 40 + 16 = 56, the example printed in standard 3.OA.5. Pupils split one factor into 5 and the rest, so every hard fact leans on the × 5 table.
Facts × 0 and × 10 × 8 = 0 and 1 × 8 = 8. Quick to teach and easy to mix up, so they get a sheet of their own before the mixed review.
Facts × 2, × 5 and × 1030 facts such as 5 × 7 = 35 and 10 × 6 = 60, from the three tables that grow out of counting by 2s, 5s and 10s. The page opens on this sheet.
Facts × 3, × 4 and × 64 × 7 = 28 is double 2 × 7 = 14, and 6 × 7 = 42 is double 3 × 7 = 21. Doubling a known fact is one of the properties strategies that standard 3.OA.5 asks for.
Facts × 7, × 8 and × 98 × 7 = 56 and 9 × 6 = 54. A class that already knows the tables up to 6 and the 10s meets only 6 new facts here: 7 × 7, 7 × 8, 7 × 9, 8 × 8, 8 × 9 and 9 × 9.
Mixed facts to 10 × 1040 facts from the 2 to 10 times tables in shuffled order, such as 7 × 6 = 42. Both standards documents stop here: the Common Core asks for every product of two one-digit numbers from memory, and Texas for recall up to 10 by 10.

Unknown numbers and division facts 2
Division facts within 10056 ÷ 8 = 7. Standard 3.OA.7 asks for fluent division within 100 in the same sentence as multiplication, and Texas 3.4(F) asks pupils to recall the division fact that goes with each multiplication fact.
Unknown number in a multiplication equation8 × ? = 48, so the unknown is 6. Standard 3.OA.4 puts the unknown in any of the three places, and Texas 3.5(D) asks for a missing factor or a missing product.
Multiples of 10 and 2-digit numbers 2
1-digit × multiples of 106 × 40 = 240, read as 6 × 4 tens = 24 tens. Standard 3.NBT.3 keeps the multiple between 10 and 90 and gives 9 × 80 and 5 × 60 as its examples.
2-digit × 1-digit in columns37 × 4 = 148, set out with the 4 under the 7 and a carried 2. Texas 3.4(G) names the standard algorithm for this size, so print it for Texas classes or as a spring stretch.
Word problems 3
Word problems: equal groups'5 bags hold 6 apples each. How many apples are there in all?' is 5 × 6 = 30. One step and products within 100, as standard 3.OA.3 sets out. Six different stories rotate down the page.
Word problems: measurement'Each ribbon is 7 cm long. How long are 6 ribbons laid end to end?' is 6 × 7 = 42 cm. Measurement quantities are the third situation in 3.OA.3, and the units here are the ones grade 3 measures with: centimeters, inches, feet, grams, liters and minutes.
Word problems: rows and arrays'A tray has 4 rows of 8 muffins. How many muffins are on the tray?' is 4 × 8 = 32. Arrays are the second of the three situations named in 3.OA.3, and Texas 3.5(B) asks pupils to show such problems with arrays and strip diagrams.
How this list was compiled: Sheet types, word problem wording and worked examples are own work; every worked example was computed twice on 2026-09-18. Grade 3 limits, standard numbers and the examples quoted from the standards (5 × 7 as 5 groups of 7, 8 × ? = 48, 32 ÷ 8, 9 × 80 and 5 × 60, 8 × 7 = 8 × 5 + 8 × 2, 4 times a number is always even) were checked on 2026-09-18 against the full text of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (national copy, https://learning.ccsso.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/ADA-Compliant-Math-Standards.pdf, read again 2026-09-20): 3.OA.1, 3.OA.3 to 3.OA.9, 3.NBT.3, 3.MD.2 with its footnote on comparison problems, 3.MD.7, 4.OA.1 and 4.NBT.5. Texas limits and wording (arrays up to 10 by 10, recall up to 10 by 10, two-digit by one-digit with the standard algorithm, '3 x 24 represents 3 times as much as 24', number pairs in a table) were checked the same day against the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Mathematics, 19 TAC 111.5 Grade 3, adopted 2012 (https://tea.texas.gov/laws-and-rules/sboe-rules-tac/sboe-tac-currently-effect/ch111a.pdf): 3.4(D) to 3.4(K), 3.5(B) to 3.5(E) and 3.6(C).
