3rd Grade Mathematics — Multiplication and Division — God's Order in Numbers
Students will learn and practice multiplication facts for 6 through 10.
Now that you know your facts through 5, it is time to learn 6 through 10. Remember, because of the commutative property, you already know many of these! For example, 6 × 3 is the same as 3 × 6 = 18.
The 6 times table builds on the 3s. If you know 3 × 7 = 21, then 6 × 7 is double that: 42. The 8 times table builds on the 4s the same way. God's patterns make learning easier!
The 9 times table has a wonderful pattern. Look at the answers: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90. The digits in each answer always add up to 9! Also, the tens digit goes up by 1 while the ones digit goes down by 1.
The 10 times table is the easiest of all: just add a zero to the end of the number. 10 × 7 = 70. 10 × 12 = 120. God built our number system on groups of ten, which makes this pattern work perfectly.
Colossians 3:23 tells us to work at everything with all our heart. Memorizing times tables takes effort, but every fact you learn makes you stronger in math. Keep practicing and do your best for God's glory!
Complete a full multiplication chart from 0 × 0 to 10 × 10. Circle the 9s facts and check that the digits add up to 9. Time yourself on 20 random flash cards and try to beat your time each day.
