Fascinating Fact:

A triangle has 3 sides, so 4 triangles have 3 × 4 = 12 sides altogether.

In KS2 Times Tables, the 3 times table builds confident multiplication by counting in equal groups of three. It helps pupils use patterns, recognise multiples, and link facts to division for faster mental maths.

  • Multiple: A number you get by multiplying, such as 12 being a multiple of 3.
  • Factor: A number that divides exactly into another number, such as 3 being a factor of 15.
  • Array: A neat arrangement in rows and columns that shows multiplication, such as 3 rows of 4 making 12.
What is the 3 times table?

The 3 times table is the list of answers you get when you multiply numbers by 3, such as 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and it continues in steps of three.

How can I learn the 3 times table quickly?

You can learn the 3 times table quickly by practising counting in threes, using arrays to picture the groups, and checking facts with the matching division answers.

What division facts go with the 3 times table?

Each 3 times table fact has a matching division fact, for example 3 × 7 = 21 links to 21 ÷ 3 = 7, which helps you verify answers.
