About These Worksheets

Grade 3 students use arrays to explore the commutative property and as a bridge toward the area model used in later multi-digit multiplication.

These multiplication array worksheets build a visual foundation for understanding what multiplication actually means. An array arranges objects into equal rows and columns, so a 4-by-6 array of dots represents 4 × 6 at a glance, letting students see the total by counting rows, counting columns, or skip counting rather than relying on memorized facts alone.

Worksheets ask students to build arrays from a given multiplication sentence, write a multiplication sentence from a pictured array, and use arrays to discover the commutative property (a 4-by-6 array has the same total as a 6-by-4 array, just rotated). This concrete, visual model connects naturally to equal groups and repeated addition, and it lays the groundwork for the area model students will use in multi-digit multiplication in later grades.

Skills Practised

  • Building arrays to represent multiplication sentences
  • Writing multiplication sentences from a pictured array
  • Counting rows and columns to find a total
  • Discovering the commutative property using rotated arrays
  • Connecting arrays to equal groups and repeated addition
  • Using arrays to solve simple word problems

Parent Tip: Point out arrays around the house — muffin tins, egg cartons, and ice cube trays are all natural multiplication arrays your child can count and describe.
