This Grade 3 worksheet builds the distributive property by breaking harder facts into easier Grade 3 pieces. Students split factors like 6 x 7 into 6 x 5 + 6 x 2 through nine fill-ins and a matching task. The practice directly targets CCSS 3.OA.5 reasoning, helping Grade 3 learners use known facts to find unfamiliar products with confidence and accuracy.

Properties of Multiplication
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. In Grade 3, 6 x 7 can be broken into 6 x 5 + 6 x 2.
2. A Grade 3 student finds 7 x 8 = 7 x 5 + 7 x 3.
3. In Grade 3, 9 x 6 = 9 x 5 + 9 x 1.
4. A Grade 3 student splits 8 x 4 into 8 x 2 + 8 x 2.
5. In Grade 3, 5 x 9 = 5 x 10 - 5 x 1.
6. A Grade 3 learner computes 4 x 12 as 4 x 10 + 4 x 2.
7. In Grade 3, 6 x 9 = 6 x (10 - 1) = 60 - 6.
8. A Grade 3 array of 3 x 8 equals 3 x 4 + 3 x 4.
9. In Grade 3, 7 x 6 = 7 x 5 + 7 x 1.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
