3rd Grade Multiplication Facts: 7s, 8s, and 9s worksheets

About this worksheet

Third graders usually learn their 2s, 5s, and 10s facts first, then 3s, 4s, and 6s, and by the time they reach 7, 8, and 9 the number of facts to hold in memory has grown large. These three tables also share several products that are easy to confuse, such as 7 x 8, 8 x 8, and 7 x 9, so a child who is close but not exact tends to land on a neighboring fact instead of the right one. This 24-question fluency page keeps every item inside the 7s, 8s, and 9s, works through each table in a mixed order so the answers cannot simply be counted down the page, and never asks the same fact twice. Most of the twenty-four items are the bare fact itself.

A handful ask your child to find a missing factor, solve a short word problem about equal groups, or pick the one true equation among several close look-alikes. Support versions use multipliers up to 7. Standard versions use multipliers from 2 to 9. Challenge versions focus on the hardest facts, such as 7 x 8, 8 x 9, and 9 x 9, with more missing factors and two-step word problems. Encourage your child to say the whole fact out loud before answering, and to check a guess by counting up or down from a fact they already know well, such as reaching 7 x 8 from 7 x 7.
