Multiplication Arithmagons WORKSHEET

Suitable for Grades: 3rd Grade, 4th Grade
CCSS: 3.OA.A.4, 4.NBT.B.6
CCSS Description: Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 × ? = 48, 5 = � ÷ 3, 6 × 6 = ?.

Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

Multiplication Arithmagons WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

Students can practice the recall of multiplication and division facts for multiplication tables up to 12 x 12 with a twist and extra problem-solving element with our multiplication arithmagons. Here there are 27 arithmagons in total broken up into sections of 3.

In sections A and E students will work ‘forwards’ by writing the product of the numbers in the circles in the rectangle between them.

In sections B and F students will work ‘forwards’ and ‘backwards’ to solve the arithmagon puzzles with some products given.

Then increasing in difficulty, the worksheet progresses to only providing the products and students will have to consider all three in order to solve the puzzles.
