Recall multiplication facts for 3

Fluent recall of the 3s multiplication facts includes products for $3 \times 0$ through $3 \times 10$ , their related equations with reversed factors, and interpretation through equal groups, arrays, or repeated addition. These facts reveal the sequence of multiples of 3 and support related division facts and later multi-digit multiplication; larger factors, generalized algebraic rules, and non-basic multiplication cases are not included.

Detailed Explanation: Recall multiplication facts for 3

To recall a multiplication fact for $3$ , think of equal groups of 3 or count by 3s:

3,\ 6,\ 9,\ 12,\ 15,\ 18,\ 21,\ 24,\ 27,\ 30

These are the products of $(3 \times 1)$ through $(3 \times 10)$ .

Example: Find $(3 \times 7)$

Think of $7$ equal groups with $3$ in each group.
Count by 3 seven times:

3,\ 6,\ 9,\ 12,\ 15,\ 18,\ 21

The seventh number is $(21)$ , so:

3 \times 7 = 21

You can also show this with repeated addition:

3+3+3+3+3+3+3=21

The reversed multiplication fact has the same product:

7 \times 3=21

So, when you see a multiplication fact with $3$ , count by 3s or picture equal groups of 3.
