This hard worksheet introduces the distributive property and flexible thinking. Students break 7 x 8 into (7 x 5) + (7 x 3) to land on 56, write 9 x 6 = 54 for an array, and spot which fact does not belong in the family for 5, 8, and 40. Then they use (4 x 5) + (4 x 3) = 4 x 8 and 3 x 9 = (3 x 10) - 3 = 27 to think like older mathematicians.
Splitting tough facts into easier chunks gives third graders a strategy that powers multi-digit multiplication ahead.

A) 9 + 6 = 15
B) 9 × 6 = 54
C) 9 × 6 = 56
D) 6 + 6 + 6 = 18
3. Which fact does NOT belong in the fact family for 5, 8, and 40?
A) 5 × 8 = 40
B) 40 ÷ 5 = 8
C) 8 × 5 = 40
D) 40 ÷ 10 = 4

B) 56
C) 54
D) 63
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. (4 × 5) + (4 × 3) = 4 × 8.
2. An array with 7 rows and 5 columns has 35 items.
3. 3 × 9 = (3 × 10) − 3 = 27.
4. If 6 × 6 = 36, then 6 × 7 = 36 + 6 = 42.
