Multiplying Three Numbers Together WORKSHEET
Multiplying Three Numbers Together WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet aims to not only give students practice of multiplying three numbers together but also to build understanding of the laws of commutability and associativity.
Section A uses arrays to show how the order of numbers in multiplications does not matter and students will represent the multiplication of three numbers using arrays.
The focus of section B is on rearranging numbers in multiplication to make calculation easier. Here pupils will not complete multiplications but rather consider which pairs of numbers they would multiply first and why.
These skills are put to the test in section C as pupils will now find the products of eight sets of three numbers.
Lastly, in section D, learners will use single digits to find different ways of making 24 when multiplying three numbers together.
All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.

Frequently Asked Questions
Arrays provide a visual representation that makes the concept of multiplying three numbers much clearer for young learners. When pupils can see the physical arrangement of objects in rows and columns, they begin to grasp how changing the order of multiplication doesn't affect the final answer. This concrete approach is particularly effective for Year 4 students who are still developing their abstract mathematical thinking.
