Multiplication and Division Unit Test with Answers

3rd Grade MathMultiplication and Division8 pages

About this worksheet

A 25-question end-of-unit test for 3rd grade multiplication and division, at 1 point a question. Section 1 checks equal groups, a picture of 18 stars to divide and six fact items such as 54 ÷ 9. Section 2 covers unknown numbers, related facts, and the distributive property with a 7 × 8 array split into 5 and 3 columns. Section 3 has a multiplication table and a spider legs table. Section 4 holds the word problems, including a two-step sticker problem with a wrong method to evaluate. Every question shows its Common Core code, and the 3-page key gives each answer with its point.

Curriculum objectives covered

3.OA.1

“Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 × 7.”

Questions 1 and 2 ask students to match 4 circles of 6 dots to 4 × 6 and to read 7 × 3 = 21 as 7 groups of 3.

3.OA.4

“Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 × ? = 48, 5 = _ ÷ 3, 6 × 6 = ?”

Questions 11 to 13 give 6 × ? = 42, ? ÷ 5 = 9 and 56 ÷ ? = 8.

3.OA.5

“Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide.”

Question 16 splits 7 × 8 into (7 × 5) + (7 × 3), question 17 asks for the associative property, and question 18 for the commutative one.

3.OA.7

“Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.”

Questions 5 to 10 are six facts, including 49 ÷ 7 and 0 × 8.

3.OA.8

“Solve two-step word problems using the four operations. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.”

Question 23 asks for an equation with the letter a, and question 24 is a two-step sticker problem with Maya's wrong method to explain.

3.OA.9

“Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table or multiplication table), and explain them using properties of operations. For example, observe that 4 times a number is always even, and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends.”

Question 19 asks why every product in the column for 4 is even, and question 20 asks for the rule in a spider legs table.

What's inside this worksheet

Section 1: Equal Groups, Arrays, and Fact Fluency

Questions 1 to 10: four circles of 6 dots to match with 4 × 6, 18 stars in rows, Max's 32 trading cards in a binder, and six facts such as 8 × 7 and 0 × 8.

Section 2: Unknown Numbers and Properties of Operations

Questions 11 to 18: unknowns such as 6 × ? = 42, the related fact for 72 ÷ 9, the split 7 × 8 array, and why 9 × 4 has the same product as 4 × 9.

Section 3: Arithmetic Patterns

A multiplication table with a missing product in the column for 4, and an input and output table of spider legs from 2 spiders to 10.

Section 4: Problem Solving and Application

Tomato plants in 6 rows of 8, 45 muffins in boxes of 5, apples from 4 cartons of 9 plus 7 left over, Leo's stickers, and a question on 56 ÷ 8 and 8 × 7.

Answers

Each answer with its standard and point, sample explanations, and the completed spider table.

How teachers use it

Split it over two days

Sections 1 and 2 hold 18 of the 25 questions. Give those on day one and Sections 3 and 4 the next if 35 minutes is too long for your class.

Grade by standard

Each question shows its code, so you can tally the 3.OA.7 facts apart from the word problems. That tally shows who needs fact practice and who needs help reading problems.

Act out Maya's method

After grading, write Maya's 48 ÷ 4 − 12 on the board and act out the story with 48 stickers. Students see why the 12 has to come off first.
