Count the groups of 3 — hop along the pads: 3, 6, 9, 12…
The full 3 times table
- 3 × 1= 3
- 3 × 2= 6
- 3 × 3= 9
- 3 × 4= 12
- 3 × 5= 15
- 3 × 6= 18
- 3 × 7= 21
- 3 × 8= 24
- 3 × 9= 27
- 3 × 10= 30
- 3 × 11= 33
- 3 × 12= 36
And backwards: dividing by 3
Share into 3 equal groups, or ask: 3 × ? = the number.
- 3 ÷ 3= 1
- 6 ÷ 3= 2
- 9 ÷ 3= 3
- 12 ÷ 3= 4
- 15 ÷ 3= 5
- 18 ÷ 3= 6
- 21 ÷ 3= 7
- 24 ÷ 3= 8
- 27 ÷ 3= 9
- 30 ÷ 3= 10
- 33 ÷ 3= 11
- 36 ÷ 3= 12
