Awesome job! This is called counting by 3s. Each time you say a number, you're moving forward by 3.
Because it helps you unlock the fun of multiplication!
Each number goes up by 3!
This makes multiplying by 3 super easy once you see how the numbers grow step by step, just like riding a thrilling roller coaster where each number takes you to the next exciting drop!
Watch this video and jam along to a fun song about counting by 3s.
That was a blast! Remember, counting by 3s helps you tackle multiplication problems with ease.

3 x 4 =
Picture a roller coaster with four carts. For each cart, count by 3s!
Just like this roller coaster ride, multiplying 3 by 4 means you take 4 steps, counting by 3s!
So, 3 x 4 = 12.
Great job!
Remember, each step shows how many times you multiply by 3.
The Big Scary Ride of 3s!
Solve the problem to find out:
3 x 2 = ?
Start with 3 and take 2 steps forward. With each step, count by three.
Think it through before you check your answer.
Fantastic job! You need 6 tickets to ride the big scary ride.
So, 3 x 2 = 6.
Solve Another
3 x ? = 9
Start with 3, and keep moving forward until you reach 9. Remember each step counts as 3.
That's right — 3 steps!
Yay! You did it.
That means 3 x 3 = 9.
Keep Going!
Every time you practice counting by 3s, you train to be a multiplication master!
Try this one.
3 x ? = 15
Think it through before you check your answer.
That's right, it's 5 steps!
So, that means 3 x 5 = 15.
Wow! You're a master of multiplication.
Counting by 3s and multiplication is super important in real life!
If you want to ride the park's rides, multiplying helps you quickly determine how many tickets you need.
