Multiplication Facts 0-10 — Answer Key
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. If 4 × 7 = 28, then 7 × 4 = 28.
The commutative property says you can switch the factors and the product stays the same, so 7 × 4 also equals 28.
2. Double 6 × 3 equals 6 × 6.
Doubling means multiplying by 2, so doubling the second factor turns 6 × 3 into 6 × 6, which is twice as large.
3. 8 × 7 = 56.
Break it apart: 8 × 7 = (8 × 5) + (8 × 2) = 40 + 16 = 56, a tricky fact worth memorizing.
4. In the fact family for 3, 8, and 24, 24 ÷ 8 = 3.
Division undoes multiplication, so since 3 × 8 = 24, splitting 24 into 8 equal groups gives 3 in each group.
5. 10 × 7 = 70.
When you multiply by 10, the digit just shifts to the tens place — a 7 becomes 70.
6. If 5 × 9 = 45, then 9 × 5 = 45.
Switching the order of factors never changes the product — that is the commutative property — so 9 × 5 is also 45.
7. Double 4 × 4 equals 4 × 8.
Doubling the second factor doubles the whole product, so 4 × 4 = 16 grows to 4 × 8 = 32.
8. In the fact family for 6, 7, and 42, 42 ÷ 6 = 7.
Since 6 × 7 = 42, sharing 42 into 6 equal groups puts 7 in each group — division reverses the multiplication.
9. 9 × 8 = 72.
Use the 9s shortcut: 9 × 8 = (10 × 8) − 8 = 80 − 8 = 72.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
5 × 8
→ 40
42
3 × 10
→ 30
81
7 × 6
→ 42
30
9 × 9
→ 81
40
Each pair lines up with its product from the times tables: five 8s give 40, three 10s give 30, six 7s give 42, and nine 9s give 81.
