Multiplication Facts 0-10 — Answer Key
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
4 × 3 = 15
Corrected: 4 × 3 = 12
Four groups of three is 4 × 3 = 12, not 15. You can check by skip-counting by 3: 3, 6, 9, 12.
2. Fix the sentence:
7 × 0 = 7
Corrected: 7 × 0 = 0
Any number multiplied by 0 equals 0, so 7 × 0 = 0. Seven groups of nothing is still nothing.
3. Fix the sentence:
5 × 6 = 36
Corrected: 5 × 6 = 30
Five groups of six is 5 × 6 = 30, not 36. Skip-counting by 6 five times gives 6, 12, 18, 24, 30.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 6 × 1 = 6.
Multiplying any number by 1 gives back that same number, so 6 × 1 = 6. One group of six is just six.
2. Any number times 0 equals zero.
Zero is the answer because anything multiplied by 0 produces 0 — there are no groups, so there is nothing to count.
3. 3 × 4 = 4 × 3 shows the commutative property.
When two factors can switch places without changing the product, that is the commutative property. 3 × 4 and 4 × 3 both equal 12.
4. 8 × 2 = 16.
Eight groups of two is 8 × 2 = 16, the same as doubling 8 to get 16.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. 5 × 7 = 35.
True False
True. 5 × 7 = 35 because skip-counting by 5 seven times gives 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35.
2. Any number multiplied by 1 equals 0.
True False
False. Any number multiplied by 1 equals itself, not zero. For example, 6 × 1 = 6.
3. 6 × 4 = 4 × 6.
True False
True. The commutative property of multiplication means the order of the factors does not change the product, so 6 × 4 and 4 × 6 both equal 24.
