20 Multiplication Word Problems for 3rd to 5th Grades With Tips On Supporting Students’ Progress

Steven Eastes

Multiplication word problems are mathematical word problems that use real-life scenarios involving multiplication to find the solution. Multiplication word problems teach students to apply their knowledge of their times tables and build up skills in standard algorithm multiplication.

As children advance through elementary school, they will develop their times tables skills. Skills to tackle word problems involving multiplication develop alongside this from 3rd grade to 5th grade.

How to build mathematical skills to tackle multiplication word problems

As children develop their knowledge of multiplication, it is essential that they are exposed to visuals and concrete manipulatives to understand the concept of multiplication. These resources aim to aid children’s understanding of multiplication and allow them to make connections to real-world situations.

Multiplication Word Problems For 3rd - 5th Grade

Multiplication Word Problems For 3rd - 5th Grade

Develop your 3rd - 5th grade students multiplication reasoning and problem solving skills with these 10 questions and answers per worksheet!

As children become more confident in their ability to multiply they will start to apply their skills to beyond one-step problems and begin to solve complex word problems, and multi-step problems that may involve more than one operation.

In two-step problems children may need to use their addition word problems , subtraction word problems , fraction word problems and division word problems skills to find the solution. These skills are built upon throughout lower and upper elementary. Furthermore, having a student who understands place value will also aid them in their problem solving skills.

It is important that children are exposed to arithmetic activities and fluency tasks together with regular word problems. To help, in this blog you will find multiplication word problems for all grades from 3rd grade up to 5th grade, complete with examples and solutions for you to use with your students.

Multiplication in 3rd Grade

In 3rd grade, children should be able to recall all products of two one-digit numbers and division facts for these tables. Additionally, they begin writing the multiplication, division and equals signs and show that multiplication of two numbers can be done in any order due to the commutative theory. 

They will also develop efficient mental methods using commutativity and associativity such as 5 x 8 = 40 and so 8 x 5 = 40 as well as deriving related facts such as , if 2 x 3 = 6 then 20 x 3 = 60. Students will also practice their written multiplication strategy starting with calculations of two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers via arrays and area models.

3rd graders use arrays, repeated addition, concrete materials and mental methods to solve word problems. By the end of 3rd grade, they also begin to successfully write and calculate multiplication statements and solve missing number problems. 

It is also important to develop our students’ vocabulary and to consider the different ways of saying we are multiplying. Multiplication word problems are fantastic at doing this by using phrases such as ‘the product of’, ‘equal groups’, ‘use multiplication tables’ and ‘arrays’. Concrete materials will obviously assist in this understanding too.

By the end of 3rd grade students will mentally know and use place value to understand about multiplying by 10 and 100, recognize and use factor pairs and be able to multiply three-digit numbers by one-digit numbers. 

When working on multiplication word problems, students will look at integer scaling problems and more complex correspondence problems such as ‘n objects are connected to m objects’. These two-step problems will be based on real-life scenarios around: measure, money and fractions.

Multiplication in 4th and 5th grade

In 4th grade, students continue to practice multiplying using the area model, multiplying 4-digit by one-digit numbers. In 5th grade, students are introduced to standard algorithm multiplication, where students will multiply 4-digit numbers by two-digit numbers. 

Children should use their knowledge of factors, multiples, and prime numbers to assist them in their problem solving. Being familiar with multi-step word problems and knowing how to apply their knowledge of multiplication in a quick, accurate manner is essential.

Why are multiplication word problems important for children’s understanding of multiplication

Word problems are a great opportunity to bring math to life. They enable children to see the link between the math they do in the classroom and how they can apply it in real-life scenarios and avoid the phrase ‘why do we need to learn this anyway?’

In lower elementary word problems allow for the chance to use concrete materials and manipulatives rather than a constant stream of multiplication word problem worksheets. 

Children get a hands-on opportunity to problem solve and visually see how to create arrays or use repeated addition. While this continues into upper elementary, learners will use concrete materials less and instead embark on the formal written methods of standard algorithm multiplication so that they become confident with mental and formal methods.

In addition, children develop key skills such as:

  • building problem solving skills
  • developing mathematical language skills
  • develop an understanding between multiplication and division and how we can use, and may need to use both, to solve two-step problems. We may need to multiply before we use standard algorithm division for example.
  • be able to apply mathematical concepts to real life situations.

Teaching how to solve multiplication word problems in elementary school

Once the concept of multiplication is embedded and children understand how to use concrete materials, for example how to visually create an array to represent the multiplication needed, the next step is to advance to multiplication word problems.

When providing children with multiplication word problem worksheets or multiplication word problems challenge cards, it is important that children are able to read the question carefully and understand the context before extracting the math from it. 

Students need to be able to interpret what they are being asked. What operation do they need to do? Or do they need to do two operations? Is it a one-step problem or a two-step problem? In the word problems below the focus will be multiplication, whether representing it visually, like in lower elementary, or moving up to formal written methods in upper elementary.

Example of a multiplication word problem

Amy is making the party bags for her birthday party. She has invited 10 friends and they will have three chocolates in their bag. How many chocolates will Amy need altogether?

How to solve this:

Firstly we need to know that Amy has invited 10 friends so there will be 10 party bags. She will put 3 chocolates in each bag. So we know:-

  • There are 10 friends/party bags
  • They will have 3 chocolates each
  • We therefore need to multiply, or use repeated addition, to times 10 by 3 to solve the problem.
  • So to solve this problem we could draw a number line starting at zero (0) and repeatedly add three (3) each time. We need to repeat this ten (10) times to attain the answer.
  • We could mentally use our times table knowledge to do 10 x 3, or 3 x 10 or visually represent this as an array. We could even show this as a bar model.
  • We could formally use multiplication to solve this problem.

How would we represent this visually?

Below are visual representations of the above problem to show how a child may represent this problem using any of the strategies above:

How we would represent this with repeated addition:

Visual representation of multiplication problem

Or as an array:

Visual representation of how to use arrays to solve multiplication problem

Examples of multiplication word problems in the elementary setting

Below are examples of what can be expected at each grade level from grades 3 to 5. Through our tutoring program at Third Space Learning, our tutees will become familiar with word problems throughout their learning. They will encounter word problems on a regular basis with each lesson personalized to develop the learning our tutees need. 

multiplication word problem solving

The word problems will increase their confidence, familiarity with vocabulary and mathematical understanding whether using our materials in tutoring sessions, in the classroom or in small intervention groups.

Multiplication word problems for 3rd grade

3rd grade is the first year that multiplication is formally introduced.  When solving word problems for 3rd grade, students will first use concrete materials to discover how to use repeated addition and arrays to solve word problems that have a context to them. They should be encouraged and aided in representing the word problem visually as well as developing their mental methods to solve such problems.

By the end of 3rd grade, students should be using their full knowledge and recall of times tables to 10 x 10 to help with multiplication of 2-digit and 3-digit numbers by a 1 digit number. Word problems may also involve multi step problems and there will be exchanges taking place too.

Mia is picking flowers. A flower has 5 petals on it. How many petals will be on 6 flowers?

Answer: 30 petals

How we can solve this using repeated addition:

Sam is at the store and sees a bouncy ball is 10¢.

Sam wants to buy 8 balls. How much will it cost?

Answer: 80 ¢

Hansi has 4 packets of stickers with 5 stickers in each packet.

Robert has 3 packets of stickers with 10 stickers in each packet.

Who has the most stickers? Why?

Answer: Robert because Hansi has 20 stickers (4 x 5) but Robert has 30 stickers (3 x 10).

Daisy and Ollie are sharing some marbles. They have 5 boxes of marbles, and once they have shared them they have twenty marbles each. How many marbles are in each box?

Answer: 8 marbles.

If they have 20 marbles each then in total there are 40 marbles (20 x 2 = 40). If there are 5 boxes of marbles then there are 8 marbles in each box as 40 divided by 5 is 8. Some may also know the inverse here in that 5 x 8 = 40.

It is Christmas break and a family of 4 are going to the cinema! Each ticket costs $8. How much would it cost for the family to go to the cinema?

Answer: $32.

As 4 multiplied by 8 equals 32. We can solve this mentally and by knowing the times table fact 4 x 8 = 32 or 8 x 4 = 32.

We could also show this in bar model method:

Using the bar model method to solve multiplication problem

Multiplication word problems for 4th grade

In 4th grade, students should be using their full knowledge and recall of times tables to 12 x 12 as children begin to multiply 4-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers and 2-digit numbers. Word problems may also involve multi-step problems and there will be exchanges taking place too.

Jack and Ella are practicing their area models and have both attempted the same question.

The question is: What is 1,235 x 7?

Jack says the answer is 7,259 but Ella says the answer is 8,645.

Who is correct and what mistake has one child made?

multiplication to solve multiplication word problem

Answer: Ella is correct, the answer is 8,645 and the mistake made is that Jack forgot to add the two zeros when multiplying 7 x 200.

If a shop makes $2,782 in a day, how much will it make in one week?

Answer: $19,474

Note: For this question we must know that there are 7 days in one week as we then have to multiply 2,782 by 7.

A group of friends go for lunch at the local restaurant. 6 of them decide to buy chicken nuggets and fries which costs $7 each and the other 4 friends decide to buy pizza and salad for $8 each. What do friends spend more on, chicken nuggets or pizza?

Answer: Chicken nuggets

Chicken nuggets = 7 x 6 totals $42 whereas pizza = 8 x 4 totals $32. Therefore, they spend more on chicken nuggets.

A high school football team has a mean (average) attendance of 1,298 people each game. There are 9 games in a season, what is the total attendance for the whole season?

Answer: A total attendance of 11,682

Multiplication word problems for 5th grade

With the end of the elementary school journey in sight, word problems for 5th graders are expected to be able to use mental methods to solve the more simple multiplication word problems, such as multiplying by a multiple of 10. The standard algorithm is formally introduced in 5th grade. They will be able to multiply decimals as well as 4-digit numbers multiplied by 2-digit numbers. They will also be versed with two-step problems and using more than one operation in a question.

There are 67 candies in a bag. If the grocery store orders 8,657 bags, how many candies would there be altogether?

Answer: 580,019 candies

Bobby chooses a number between 300 and 320.

She divides it by 6 then subtracts 17 from it.

She then divides that number by 4.

Her answer is 8.5.

What number did she start with?

Answer: 306

Here it is essential to work backwards from the answer 8.5 and do the inverse at each step. So we multiply instead of divide and we add instead of subtract.

Miss Dobson is making cakes to sell at the school fair.

Strawberries cost $5.60 per lb.

Eggs cost $1.70 per box.

Icing costs 89¢ per lb.

Cake cases are $3.25 for 10.

She uses 8 lbs of strawberries, 10 boxes of eggs, 11 lbs of icing and 40 cake cases to make 40 cakes.

Calculate the total cost for 40 cakes.

Answer: $84.59

The strawberries are: $5.60 x 8 = $44.80

The eggs are: $1.70 x 10 = $17.00

Icing costs are $0.89 x 11 = $9.79

Cake cases are $3.25 x 4 = $13.00

There are 26 white buttons in a pack and 13 blue buttons in a pack.

The school buys 1,460 packs of white buttons and 730 packs of blue buttons.

Is it true that the school would have four times as many white buttons as blue buttons? Show your working in your answer.

Answer: It is true because there are 37,960 white buttons and there are 9,490 blue buttons.

If we then multiply 9,490 by 4 we get 37,960. Or alternatively we could divide 37,960 by 4 and get 9,490.

Math Word Problems

Welcome to the math word problems worksheets page at Math-Drills.com! On this page, you will find Math word and story problems worksheets with single- and multi-step solutions on a variety of math topics including addition, multiplication, subtraction, division and other math topics. It is usually a good idea to ensure students already have a strategy or two in place to complete the math operations involved in a particular question. For example, students may need a way to figure out what 7 × 8 is or have previously memorized the answer before you give them a word problem that involves finding the answer to 7 × 8.

There are a number of strategies used in solving math word problems; if you don't have a favorite, try the Math-Drills.com problem-solving strategy:

  • Question : Understand what the question is asking. What operation or operations do you need to use to solve this question? Ask for help to understand the question if you can't do it on your own.
  • Estimate : Use an estimation strategy, so you can check your answer for reasonableness in the evaluate step. Try underestimating and overestimating, so you know what range the answer is supposed to be in. Be flexible in rounding numbers if it will make your estimate easier.
  • Strategize : Choose a strategy to solve the problem. Will you use mental math, manipulatives, or pencil and paper? Use a strategy that works for you. Save the calculator until the evaluate stage.
  • Calculate : Use your strategy to solve the problem.
  • Evaluate : Compare your answer to your estimate. If you under and overestimated, is the answer in the correct range. If you rounded up or down, does the answer make sense (e.g. is it a little less or a little more than the estimate). Also check with a calculator.

Word Problem Worksheetss for Multiplication

Multiplication word problems are one of the more challenging applied math topics for grade school children to understand. The language used for a multiplication word problem can be challenging for some students.

These worksheets start with very fundamental multiplication problems to help surmount this challenge. Once these multiplication word problems are well understood, proceeding to worksheets that mix multiplication and division, and even addition and subtraction, can provide excellent practice in insuring that students understand how each operation needs to be selected appropriately based on the problem setup.

The worksheets are grouped into four variants with unique problems on each sheet. As you incrementally work the sets of worksheets, the arithmetic will involve larger numbers, although the basic multiplication word problem skills are unchanged.

Word Problems on Multiplication

Word problems on multiplication for fourth grade students are solved here step by step.

Problem Sums Involving Multiplication: 1.  24 folders each has 56 sheets of paper inside them. How many sheets of paper are there altogether?

We can add 56 sheets 24 times

Since multiplication is repeated addition we can multiply 56 and 24 to get the answer.

[Sometime, more than one calculation is required.]  Therefore, altogether there are 1344 sheets.  

2. A carton holds 24 packets of biscuits. Each packet has 12 biscuits. How many biscuits can be packed in 45 cartons? 

In one carton we can pack 24 × 12 biscuits.

In 45 cartons, we can pack 24 × 12 × 45 biscuits.

24 × 12 = 288


→ 40 + 5

Multiply by 5

Multiply by 40

Therefore, altogether there are 12,960 biscuits.

3. There are 226 pencils in a packet. How many pencils are there in 212 such packets?


Number of pencils in 1 packet = 226


Number of packets = 212


Total number of pencils = 226 × 212

                                   = 47912

4. A bag contains 289 apples. How many apples A will 72 such bags have?

Solution: 1 bag contains = 289 apples

72 bags contain = 289 ×  72 apples

                          2 8 9

                         × 7 2   

                          5 7 8

                +   2 0 2 3 0     

                    2 0 8 0 8  

Hence, 72 bags will contain 20,808 apples.

5. A car travels a distance of 345 km every day.  What distance will it travel in a year?

Distance travelled by the car in one day = 345 km

There are 365 days in a year.

Distance travelled by the car in 365 days = 345 km × 365

                       3 4 5                       × 3 6 5

                    1 7 2 5

                 2 0 7 0 0

          +  1 0 3 5 0 0

               1 2 5 9 2 5

Hence, the car will travel  1,25,925 km in a year.

Consider the following Examples on Word Problems Involving Multiplication:

1. A book costs $ 67. How much will be paid for 102 such books?  Solution:

The cost of one book            = $ 6 7                   6 7 Number of books                  = 1 0 2              × 1 0 2 The cost of 102 books          = $ 67 × 102        1 3 4                                           = $ 6834          + 6 7 0 0                                                                    6 8 3 4

Therefore, cost of 102 books = $ 6834  

2. A bicycle costs $ 215. How much will be paid for 87 such bicycles? 

Solution: 

The cost of one bicycle            = $ 2 1 5                   2 1 5 Number of bicycle                    = 8 7                        × 8 7 The cost of 87 bicycles            = $ 2 1 5 × 8 7        1 5 0 5                                              = $ 6834             + 1 7 2 0 0                                                                           1 8 7 0 5 Therefore, cost of 87 bicycles = $ 18705

3. The monthly salary of a man is $ 2,625. What is his annual income by salary? 

Monthly income               = $2,625                   2 6 2 5 Annual income                 = $2,625 × 12              × 1 2                                          = $31,500                 5 2 5 0                                                                  + 2 6 2 5 0                                                                      3 1 5 0 0

Therefore, annual income = $ 31,500

4. A chair costs $ 452 and a table costs $ 1750. What will be cost of 15 chairs and 30 tables? 

(i) Cost of one chair         = $ 452 Cost of 15 chairs             = $ 452 × 15                                     = $ 6,780 (ii) Cost of one table        = $ 1,750 Cost of 30 tables             = $ 1,750 × 30                                     = $ 52,500 Therefore, cost of 15 chairs and 30 tables = $ 6,780 + $ 52,500

How to Solve Multiplication Word Problems

Are you good at solving word problems? Solving word problems is a very important part of mathematics because with them you understand and practice what you have learned to do (adding, subtracting, multiplying…)

Today we are going to look at multiplication word problems : how we recognize them, what to do to solve them…all of which we will look at in this post.

Multiplication word problems: Repetition

This is the first type of multiplication word problem that one learns how to do. For example:

Anna has 5 egg cartons. Each carton has 12 eggs. How many eggs does she have in total?

  • A number of sets: Anna has 5 egg cartons.
  • The number of things that there are in each set: Each carton has 12 eggs.
  • The question about the total number of things there are: How many eggs does she have in total?

To solve this word problem, we ought to think: if there are 12 eggs in each carton and Anna has 5 cartons, in order to know how many eggs there are in total, we will add 12 + 12 + 12+ 12+ 12, or, what ends up being the same: we will multiply 5 x 12 : In total, Anna has 60 eggs.

Multiplication word problems: One-step comparisons

In this type of multiplication word problem, one quantity is compared with another quantity that is bigger or smaller:

In order to buy their father’s gift, John has put in $10 and Patricia has put in 3 times as much money as John. How much money has Patricia put in?

  • A number that expresses one quantity: John has put in $10.
  • A number that expresses the comparison between the second quantity and the first: Patricia has put in 3 times as much money as John.
  • The question about the second quantity: How much money has Patricia put in?

In order to solve this word problem, we ought to think: if Patricia has put in 3 times as much money as Juan, that she has put in triple the amount of money, we will multiply 10 x 3 . Patricia has put in $30.

Multiplication word problems: One-step formulas

In this type of multiplication word problem, formulas will appear to us, for example, a speed formula:

Justin is a bus driver. He told me that if he didn’t make any stops and always maintained the same speed of 80 miles per hour, he would complete his route in exactly 2 hours. How many miles is his route?

  • A speed: If he maintained a speed of 80 miles per hour…
  • A time: He would arrive in 2 hours.
  • A question about distance: How many milles is his route?

In order to solve this word problem, we ought to think: if he maintains a speed of 80 miles per hour, it will mean that each hour he drives he covers 80 miles. We also know that he drives at this speed for 2 hours. Therefore, in order to know the number of miles he covers in total, we will have to multiply 80 x 2 : His route is 160 miles.

Multiplication word problems: Combination or Cartesian product

In this type of multiplication word problem, we will find two or more sets of things or people. These sets ought to be combined among themselves, forming all possible pairs:

Today we went to eat at an Italian restaurant which specializes in pasta. It was difficult for me to decide which dish to order since there were 9 types of pasta and 11 types of sauce on the menu and you could combine any pasta with any sauce. How many different pasta and sauce combinations could you choose from?

  • The number of elements that the first set has: 9 types of pasta.
  • The number of elements that the second set has: 11 types of sauce.
  • The question, which refers to the number of possible combinations between the sets: From how many different pasta and sauce combinations could you choose?

In order to solve the word problem, we ought to think: we could combine each type of pasta with 11 available types of sauce.  Therefore, with just the first type of pasta, we can get 11 different dishes. Combining the second type of pasta with each of the 11 sauces, we could get 11 more dishes. That is, for each of the 9 types of pasta, we will get 11 different sauce combinations. Thus, in order to find out the number of possible dishes, we will multiply 9 x 11 :  You could choose from 99 different pasta dishes.

Traditionally, learning multiplication was associated with rote learning of the multiplication tables. With the pandemic bringing the world on an online platform, the focus of education has shifted from rote learning to digital learning. Today, children are encouraged to apply academic concepts in everyday life.

In such a situation, online learning helps your kids prepare for an uncertain future by ensuring that their conceptual roots are firm.

A word problem presents real-world scenarios to your kids in a few sentences. The kid is expected to comprehend the sentences and offer a solution to the problem after performing the necessary mathematical calculations. In this article, we will dwell upon solving multiplication word problems in fun and games.

Understanding Word Problem Games

Word problems are an essential part of a kid’s mathematical journey as they teach the child to apply academic concepts to real-world problems.

By fourth grade, the child is familiar with mathematical words such as fewer, difference, share, reduced, equal, etc. This makes it the ideal age to be introduced to the world of word problems. With games on word problems, the child will be familiar with the RUCSAC method of solving word problems.

With word problems, children take a systematic approach where the problem is first read, understood, and the child then chooses the mathematical keywords. The little one solves the problem to find the answer and finally validates the same. By grade four, the word problem includes ones where the child is given a scenario where he or she has X apples and is asked to share the same among Y people. The child needs to compute how many apples each person gets.

Taking a Fun Approach to Learn

The greatest teachers agree that children are the most receptive when they are having fun. Some online educational websites introduce the concepts of multiplication in grade 3, where the child is given a basic understanding of arrays, grouping, and the size of the groupings. As the child graduates to higher classes, the multiplication concepts they picked up will provide a solid foundation for mathematics learning.

The Hurdle of Word Problems

The typical challenge of word problems is that middle schoolers struggle to understand the question. With the COVID pandemic bringing education to an online platform, students lack the guidance to show them what a problem expects. When such a fear is not dealt with, it can translate to a lifetime of mathematics phobia.
