Grade 2 Multiplying and Dividing by 3 and 4 Worksheet

Student Task

• Hand out as independent practice once the 3 and 4 times tables have been introduced through counting and array activities. Because it fits on one page, it also works well as a five-to-eight-minute warm-up at the start of a lesson later in the unit, or as homework. Encourage students to use a times table they already know well (like 2s) to help work out a harder one — for example, doubling the 2 times table to get the 4 times table.

Classroom Use

• Fact Family Cards: In pairs, students pick one multiplication fact from the worksheet (for example, 3 × 6 = 18) and write all four related facts on a card: 3 × 6 = 18, 6 × 3 = 18, 18 ÷ 3 = 6, and 18 ÷ 6 = 3. Pairs swap cards and check each other's fact families.

Differentiation

Support: Allow use of a printed 3 and 4 times table strip as a reference while students build recall, and let students draw quick tally groups next to any division question they find difficult.
On-Level: Students complete all four parts using recall and the known-fact strategies discussed in class.
Challenge: Ask students to complete the worksheet without looking at any reference chart, then write one original word problem using a 3 or 4 fact for a partner to solve.

Answer Key & Assessment

Mark Parts A-C against the answer key to see which specific facts still need practice. Part D shows whether students can apply the facts to a real situation rather than just recalling them in isolation — use it as a quick independent check or exit ticket.

Learning Objectives

• Students will be able to recall multiplication facts for 3 and 4 up to 10 × 10.
• Students will be able to recall the matching division facts for 3 and 4.
• Students will be able to use a known multiplication fact to work out a related, less familiar fact.
• Students will be able to solve one-step word problems involving multiplying or sharing by 3 or 4.

Teacher Tips

Point out the double-and-double-again pattern before students start: the 4 times table is just the 2 times table doubled. Students who are shaky on their 4s but solid on their 2s can use this shortcut instead of guessing.
