About this chart

4 × 6 = 24, so 4 × 60 = 24 tens = 240, shown with base-ten rods and more examples.

What kids practice

Third graders multiply a one-digit number by a multiple of 10, like 4 × 60. The key idea is that 60 is 6 tens, so 4 × 60 is 4 groups of 6 tens, which is 24 tens, or 240. Children use a fact they know (4 × 6 = 24) and then think in tens.

Watch for

  • Forgetting to make the answer tens. Writing 4 × 60 = 24.
  • Dropping a zero when the fact already ends in 0. 5 × 80 is 400, not 40.
  • Multiplying the tens digit and the zero separately and getting mixed up. Think of 60 as 6 tens.

It's free to print, as many copies as you need. See the full multiplying by 10s guide for 3rd grade.
