Table of 3: Multiplication Facts, Tips, and Chart

Tips and Tricks to Memorise Table of 3

• The foremost tip is to read the Table Chart of 3 out loud and repeat the same until you have achieved a stage where you can see the numbers 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, and 30 in that order by closing your eyes.

• To remember the 3’s table pattern up to 10, look at the numbers given in the box below. You can recognise that in tables written in 3 × 3 or 3 × 4, the tens digit (blue coloured number) is increased by 1 and the unit digit (black coloured number)  is decreased by 1.

• From the above table, you can also check that for every next 3 numbers the tens digit is the same but the digit at ones is changing. 

For example: 12, 15, 18 or 30, 33, 36.
