This Grade 3 worksheet introduces the commutative property of multiplication using friendly Grade 3 fact families. Students check sentences, fill blanks, and answer true/false questions that show why 4 x 5 equals 5 x 4 and how arrays prove order does not change the product. The practice builds CCSS 3.OA.5 fluency and prepares Grade 3 learners for associative and distributive work in later sheets.

Properties of Multiplication
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
In Grade 3, 4 times 5 equals 4 times 4 by the commutative property.
Rewrite: In Grade 3, 4 times 5 equals 5 times 4 by the commutative property.
2. Fix the sentence:
A Grade 3 student says 6 x 3 and 3 x 6 give different products.
Rewrite: A Grade 3 student says 6 x 3 and 3 x 6 give the same product.
3. Fix the sentence:
The Grade 3 rule says 7 x 2 is greater than 2 x 7 because 7 is bigger.
Rewrite: The Grade 3 rule says 7 x 2 is equal to 2 x 7 because order does not matter.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. In Grade 3, the commutative property shows that 3 x 8 equals 8 x 3.
2. A Grade 3 array with 5 rows of 4 has the same total as 4 rows of 5.
3. Grade 3 students know 9 x 2 = 18, so 2 x 9 also equals 18.
4. In Grade 3, 6 x 7 = 7 x 6 by the commutative property.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. In Grade 3, 4 x 9 and 9 x 4 have the same product because of the commutative property.
True False
2. In Grade 3, the commutative property works only when one of the factors is 1.
True False
3. A Grade 3 student can use 5 x 3 to find 3 x 5 because both equal 15.
True False
