Free printable multiplication word problems where kids see the math — arrays, equal groups, and bar models. Each worksheet is a one-click PDF with an answer key. Choose a grade below.
These free multiplication word problem worksheets show the situation with a picture — an array of objects or an equal-groups bar model — so students connect the story to the operation instead of guessing which numbers to multiply. Grade 2 builds arrays as repeated addition; grade 3 adds equal groups, missing factors (? × 6 = 24), real-world facts like legs on animals, and two-step problems; grade 4 multiplies multi-digit numbers and compares with "times as many."
