Times tables · Grade 3
In Grade 3 you learn: the 3, 4 and 8 times tables; multiplication and division facts together.
Times tables are the multiplication facts up to 12 × 12. Knowing them instantly makes division, fractions, area, percentages and almost everything else much faster. Every fact also tells you two division facts.
Key facts
- Multiplying can be done in either order: 4 × 7 = 7 × 4.
- Use facts you know: 4× is double 2×, 8× is double 4×, 6× is double 3×.
- An array (rows and columns) shows a times fact as a picture.
