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:
6 × 3 = 21
Corrected: 6 × 3 = 18
Three groups of six is 6 + 6 + 6, which equals 18 — the answer 21 belongs to 7 × 3 instead.
2. Fix the sentence:
8 × 0 = 8
Corrected: 8 × 0 = 0
Zero groups of 8 means you have nothing at all, so any number multiplied by 0 must equal 0 — that is the zero property.
3. Fix the sentence:
9 × 4 = 32
Corrected: 9 × 4 = 36
Skip-counting by 9s — 9, 18, 27, 36 — lands on 36 after four steps, so 9 × 4 equals 36.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 is the same as 4 × 3.
Repeated addition turns into multiplication by counting how many copies you added — there are four 3s, so 4 × 3.
2. An array with 5 rows and 2 columns shows 5 × 2 = 10.
In an array, the first number is the number of rows; here there are 5 rows, and 5 × 2 = 10 dots in all.
3. 7 × 2 = 14.
Doubling 7 means adding 7 + 7, which equals 14 — multiplying by 2 is the same as doubling.
4. 6 + 6 + 6 = 3 × 6 = 18.
Three copies of 6 are being added, so the multiplication sentence is 3 × 6, and three sixes total 18.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. 4 × 5 = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5.
True False
Multiplication is repeated addition, so 4 × 5 means four groups of 5, and both sides equal 20.
2. An array with 3 rows and 7 columns has 24 items.
True False
An array with 3 rows of 7 holds 3 × 7 = 21 items, not 24.
3. 10 × 0 = 0.
True False
Ten groups of nothing is still nothing, which is why anything times zero always equals zero.
