The 2s, 5s and 10s are the first multiplication facts most children learn, because the answers follow patterns they already know from skip counting: the 2s are even numbers, the 5s end in 5 or 0, and the 10s end in 0. On this worksheet your child writes the product for twenty-four plain facts, with no word problems and no missing numbers, so the practice is fast.
Building Confidence starts the other factor at 1 and goes up to 10, On Level uses 2 through 10, and Challenge Me goes up to 12 and puts the table number second as often as first. Time yourselves for two minutes, then try to beat the time on the next sheet. Knowing these facts by heart makes every later table easier.
What your child will learn
Say the products of 2, 5 and 10 without counting
Use skip counting to find a fact you forgot
Know that 5 x 7 and 7 x 5 are the same
Common Core standard: 3.OA.C.7
Worked example
7 x 5: count by fives seven times, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35. The product is 35.
Common mistake
Adding instead of multiplying, so 5 x 7 comes out as 12.
Helpful hint
Count by the table number as many times as the other number says.
