3 Times Table

Free 3 Times Table Games

After the 2 times table comes the 3, the first one that can't be solved by doubling. Multiplying by 3 means adding the same number three times, and memorizing its results takes some practice. Under this tag we bring together 3 times table games to review it in your browser, free and with no sign-up.

The available game is Multiples of 3: Times Table of 3 Quiz, a quiz that asks you to recognize multiples of 3 and solve divisions by 3. By working on the table in both directions, kids don't just repeat it from memory: they understand that if 3 times 7 is 21, then 21 divided by 3 is 7. We'll keep adding more 3 times table games.

Tricks for the 3 Times Table

• Count by threes: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15...
• Multiplying by 3 is the double plus one more time: 3 times 8 is 16 plus 8.
• In results up to 30, the digits add up to 3, 6 or 9.
• First review up to 3 times 5 and then the second half.

For parents and teachers, the 3 times table is usually taught in 2nd grade, along with the 2, 4 and 5 times tables, around age 7 or 8. A short quiz at the end of the day helps more than a long repetition session. If a child gets stuck on a particular result, it's worth coming back to it at the start of the next game.

Count by threes, answer quickly and beat your record for right answers. Play the 3 times table for free!
