Multiplication Match worksheet with a honeycomb design and a cute bee, ideal for practicing multiplication facts.

Let's solve the "Multiplication Match" puzzle step by step.

🌟 Objective:

Color each multiplication expression (like `3 × 9`) with its correct answer (e.g., `27`), using a different color for each sum. The hexagons are arranged in a honeycomb pattern, and you need to match each multiplication problem with its result.

We'll go through each multiplication problem and find its correct product, then locate that number in the grid.

🔢 Step 1: Solve Each Multiplication Problem

Here are all the multiplication expressions in the image and their results:

1. 0 × 11 = 0
2. 3 × 1 = 3
3. 3 × 9 = 27
4. 9 × 2 = 18
5. 3 × 11 = 33
6. 12 × 2 = 24
7. 9 × 8 = 72
8. 5 × 2 = 10
9. 60 → This is already an answer, but we'll check if it's a product.
10. 12 × 2 = 24 (already done)
11. 9 × 9 = 81
12. 4 × 4 = 16
13. 6 × 9 = 54
14. 5 × 9 = 45
15. 5 × 5 = 25
16. 11 × 9 = 99
17. 8 × 1 = 8
18. 2 × 1 = 2
19. 12 × 3 = 36
20. 10 × 6 = 60

Now let’s list them clearly:

| Expression | Result |
|-----------|--------|
| 0 × 11 | 0 |
| 3 × 1 | 3 |
| 3 × 9 | 27 |
| 9 × 2 | 18 |
| 3 × 11 | 33 |
| 12 × 2 | 24 |
| 9 × 8 | 72 |
| 5 × 2 | 10 |
| 9 × 9 | 81 |
| 4 × 4 | 16 |
| 6 × 9 | 54 |
| 5 × 9 | 45 |
| 5 × 5 | 25 |
| 11 × 9 | 99 |
| 8 × 1 | 8 |
| 2 × 1 | 2 |
| 12 × 3 | 36 |
| 10 × 6 | 60 |

🔍 Step 2: Find Where These Numbers Appear

Now, look at the numbers in the grid and match them to the expressions.

Let’s identify which number goes with which expression.

We’ll list the matches:

1. 0 × 11 → 0
→ Find "0" in the grid → It's in the bottom row, near center.

2. 3 × 1 → 3
→ "3" is in the middle of the grid.

3. 3 × 9 → 27
→ "27" is on the right side.

4. 9 × 2 → 18
→ "18" is near top-left.

5. 3 × 11 → 33
→ "33" is on the right side.

6. 12 × 2 → 24
→ "24" is in the middle-right.

7. 9 × 8 → 72
→ "72" is at the bottom right.

8. 5 × 2 → 10
→ "10" is near top-left.

9. 9 × 9 → 81
→ "81" is on the right side.

10. 4 × 4 → 16
→ "16" is near top.

11. 6 × 9 → 54
→ "54" is at the bottom left.

12. 5 × 9 → 45
→ "45" is near bottom.

13. 5 × 5 → 25
→ "25" is in the middle.

14. 11 × 9 → 99
→ "99" is at the bottom.

15. 8 × 1 → 8
→ "8" is in the middle.

16. 2 × 1 → 2
→ "2" is in the lower-middle.

17. 12 × 3 → 36
→ "36" is on the right side.

18. 10 × 6 → 60
→ "60" is on the left side.

🎨 How to Color

For each multiplication expression, color both the expression and its matching number with the same color, and use a different color for each pair.

So for example:

- Color 0 × 11 and 0 with color A
- Color 3 × 1 and 3 with color B
- Color 3 × 9 and 27 with color C
- And so on...

> You can use crayons, colored pencils, or markers — just make sure each pair has the same color, and no two pairs share the same color.
