About the "Word Problems - Multiplication and Division" Worksheet

Word Problems - Multiplication and Division is a comprehensive mathematics worksheet designed to enhance students' problem-solving skills in the context of multiplication and division. This interactive and printable worksheet spans three pages and features six diverse word problems set in a science classroom environment. Each problem requires students to not only solve the question but also write the corresponding multiplication or division equation, using 'x' to represent the unknown number. This approach reinforces the connection between word problems and mathematical expressions, a crucial skill in algebraic thinking.

The worksheet's structure progressively challenges students with various scenarios, from distributing test tubes among groups to calculating the number of planets on space posters. It incorporates both multiplication and division problems, encouraging students to discern which operation is appropriate for each situation. A unique feature of this worksheet is the extra space provided for students to draw or visualize the problem if needed, supporting visual learners and promoting multiple problem-solving strategies. By using science-themed contexts, the worksheet not only reinforces mathematical skills but also introduces students to scientific vocabulary and concepts, creating an interdisciplinary learning experience.

What will your child learn through this worksheet?

  • Solving word problems involving multiplication and division
  • Writing mathematical equations to represent word problems
  • Distinguishing between situations requiring multiplication or division
  • Visualizing problems through drawing (optional)

Common core standards covered

3.OA.A.3
Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.1
3.OA.C.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 Ö 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.
