This Grade 3 worksheet mixes all five properties of multiplication, challenging Grade 3 learners to choose the best property for each problem. Through multiple choice and fill-in items, students label commutative, associative, distributive, identity, and zero examples. Aligned with CCSS 3.OA.5, this capstone Grade 3 practice develops flexible, strategic thinking about multiplication properties and prepares students for division. Grade 3 students build flexible thinking.

Properties of Multiplication
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. In Grade 3, which property lets you rewrite 8 x 7 as 7 x 8?
A) Associative property
B) Commutative property
C) Distributive property
D) Zero property
2. A Grade 3 student rewrites (2 x 3) x 5 as 2 x (3 x 5). Which property is used?
A) Commutative property
B) Zero property
C) Associative property
D) Identity property
3. In Grade 3, which property is used when writing 6 x 9 as 6 x 10 - 6 x 1?
A) Distributive property
B) Identity property
C) Zero property
D) Commutative property
4. A Grade 3 student writes 12 x 1 = 12 and 12 x 0 = 0. Which two properties are shown?
A) Commutative and associative
B) Associative and distributive
C) Identity and zero
D) Distributive and zero
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. In Grade 3, 7 x 8 = 7 x 5 + 7 x 3, which uses the distributive property.
2. A Grade 3 student writes 4 x 6 = 6 x 4, which uses the commutative property.
3. In Grade 3, 100 x 1 = 100 shows the identity property.
4. A Grade 3 learner writes (5 x 2) x 3 = 5 x (2 x 3) using the associative property.
5. In Grade 3, 348 x 0 = 0 uses the zero property.
