3rd Grade Number Hunt: Products to 100 Worksheets
Fresh practice, ready to print. Answer key included.
Times-table puzzles. In each group, one number is the product of two others: children multiply pairs of small numbers until they find it, then write the multiplication sentence.

What's on the worksheet
- Find the product
Five numbers from the times tables up to 10 × 10, such as 6, 7, 30, 42 and 54.
- Challenge: six numbers
Six numbers in each group, so there are more pairs to try.
How it works: a quick refresher
The rules this worksheet practices, then one problem worked from start to finish.
| Strategy | How it works |
|---|---|
| Multiply the small numbers | The two factors are always from 2 to 10. Multiply pairs of them and look for the product. |
| Work backwards | For 42, ask: which two numbers here multiply to 42? 6 and 7. |
| Look out for decoys | Other times-table answers are mixed in. 30 is 6 × 5, but there is no 5 in the group. |
| The answer is never the biggest | Every group has a number bigger than the answer. |
Worked example
Find the number made from two others: 6, 7, 30, 42 and 54.
- 1Multiply the two small numbers: 6 × 7 = 42.
- 242 is in the group, so circle it.
- 3Check: 30 would need 6 × 5, and 54 would need 6 × 9. There is no 5 or 9.
- 4Write 6 × 7 = 42.
