  1. 1

    What is 3 x 2?

    Count by 3s two times: 3, 6.

    3 x 2 = 6 because 2 groups of 3 make 6.
  2. 2

    What is 4 x 5?

    4 x 5 = 20 because 5 groups of 4 make 20.
  3. 3

    Fill in the blank: 3 x 6 = ____.

    Use skip counting: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18.

    3 x 6 = 18 because counting by 3 six times gives 18.
  4. 4

    Fill in the blank: 4 x 3 = ____.

    4 x 3 = 12 because 3 groups of 4 make 12.
  5. 5

  7. 7

    Circle the two equations that have the same answer: 3 x 4, 4 x 3, 3 x 5.

    Changing the order of the factors does not change the product.

    3 x 4 and 4 x 3 have the same answer. Both equations equal 12.
  8. 8

    Solve: 4 x 8 = ____.

    Count by 4s: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32.
