Multiply and Divide by 8

Read the example box together. If your child is stuck on a division fact, ask for the matching multiplication fact. Time a second try a few days later to build speed. Check with the answer key.

Solve 20 multiplication and division facts using 8 plus 4 missing numbers. Multiplication and division are related. The product is the answer when you multiply, and the quotient is the answer when you divide. The directions on the page read: Read the example. Then, solve each times (×) and divided by (÷) fact. Then, solve each problem under Find the missing number. The answer key shows every answer.

Yes, both. We made it for 3rd Grade multiplication, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with multiply and divide facts. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

Division is the inverse of multiplication. Once a child knows 6 times 7 is 42, they also know 42 divided by 7 is 6, so learning the facts together means fewer facts to memorize.

Start with 2, 5 and 10, which follow skip counting, then 3 and 4. The 6, 7, 8 and 9 facts are the hardest, so each one has a page of its own.

They leave one number out of a fact, such as 8 times a blank is 56. Children use the related fact to find it, which builds the link between multiplying and dividing.

Yes. All six sheets have an answer key that shows every fact.

By the end of third grade, students should know all multiplication facts for single-digit numbers from memory (CCSS 3.OA.C.7). Most curricula introduce multiplication early in third grade, building from repeated addition, arrays, and equal groups before moving to memorization.

Start with 2s, 5s, and 10s (patterns make them easier), then 0s and 1s (identity properties). Next teach 3s and 4s, followed by 6s, 7s, 8s, and 9s. By this point, students already know many facts from the commutative property. Multiplication worksheets organized by factor help target specific fact families.

Combine understanding with practice. First ensure your child understands multiplication as groups of (3x4 = 3 groups of 4). Then use skip counting, arrays, and worksheets for repeated practice. Short daily sessions of 5-10 minutes are more effective than occasional long sessions.
