Learn Multiplying By 3
Multiplication by 3 means making equal groups of 3. Count by 3s or use repeated addition to find each product.
Examples
- 2 groups of 3 = 2 x 3 = 6
- 5 groups of 3 = 5 x 3 = 15
- 10 groups of 3 = 10 x 3 = 30

| 2 x 3 | 6 | 3 + 3 repeated 2 times |
| 3 x 3 | 9 | 3 + 3 repeated 3 times |
| 4 x 3 | 12 | 3 + 3 repeated 4 times |
| 5 x 3 | 15 | 3 + 3 repeated 5 times |
| 6 x 3 | 18 | 3 + 3 repeated 6 times |
| 7 x 3 | 21 | 3 + 3 repeated 7 times |
| 8 x 3 | 24 | 3 + 3 repeated 8 times |
