Of course! This worksheet is designed to help you practice the multiplication table for the number 3. You need to multiply each digit from 1 to 9 by 3.
Here are the solutions, along with a simple explanation for each:
---
1. 3 x 1 = 3
> *Explanation:* Multiplying any number by 1 gives you the same number. So, 3 times 1 is just 3.
2. 3 x 2 = 6
> *Explanation:* This means adding 3 two times: 3 + 3 = 6.
3. 3 x 3 = 9
> *Explanation:* Add 3 three times: 3 + 3 + 3 = 9.
4. 3 x 4 = 12
> *Explanation:* Add 3 four times: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12. Or, think of it as double of 3x2 (which is 6), so 6 + 6 = 12.
5. 3 x 5 = 15
> *Explanation:* Add 3 five times: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15. You can also think of it as half of 3x10 (which is 30), so 30 ÷ 2 = 15.
6. 3 x 6 = 18
> *Explanation:* Add 3 six times: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 18. Or, since 3x3=9, then 3x6 is double that: 9 + 9 = 18.
7. 3 x 7 = 21
> *Explanation:* Add 3 seven times: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 21. You can also think of it as 3x6 (18) plus one more 3: 18 + 3 = 21.
8. 3 x 8 = 24
> *Explanation:* Add 3 eight times: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 24. Or, since 3x4=12, then 3x8 is double that: 12 + 12 = 24.
9. 3 x 9 = 27
> *Explanation:* Add 3 nine times: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 27. You can also think of it as 3x10 (30) minus 3: 30 - 3 = 27.
