This challenging worksheet asks third graders to compare, reason, and notice patterns. They decide whether 6 x 8 or 7 x 7 is larger, explore the digit-sum pattern in the 9s table, and find the area of an 8-by-6 rectangle. Then they use 9 x 6 = 54 to figure out 9 x 7, square 8 x 8 to get 64, and discover that a 9-unit square has area 81.
Reasoning from facts they already know, instead of guessing, prepares kids for harder multiplication and early algebra.

Multiplication Facts 0-10
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. Which product is greater: 6 × 8 or 7 × 7?
A) 6 × 8 because it equals 48
B) 7 × 7 because it equals 49
C) They are equal
D) 6 × 8 because it equals 54
2. What pattern do all products of 9 follow when you add the digits?
A) The digits always add to 10
B) The digits always add to 9
C) The digits always add to 18
D) There is no pattern
3. A rectangle is 8 units long and 6 units wide. What is its area?
A) 14 square units
B) 28 square units
C) 48 square units
D) 42 square units
4. Which two facts share the same product: 3 × 8 and ___?
A) 6 × 3 = 18
B) 4 × 6 = 24
C) 5 × 5 = 25
D) 2 × 9 = 18
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. 9 × 6 = 54, so 9 × 7 = 54 + 9 = 63.
2. The product of 8 and 8 is 64.
3. If you know 5 × 6 = 30, then 5 × 7 = 30 + 5 = 35.
4. A square has sides of 9 units. Its area is 81 square units.
5. 10 × 10 = 100.
