Order products
On this page children practise sorting a list of multiplication expressions by the size of their products without always calculating first. Start with the short method and the examples, then use the online practice or print a worksheet with answers.
How to solve this
- To order products, calculate each multiplication first, then arrange the results by size.
- Avoid shortcuts — always compute every product before comparing; guessing order by factors alone is unreliable.
- Check that your ordered sequence is strictly increasing (or decreasing) with no equal neighbours in the wrong position.
Examples
3×4, 5×6, 2×9
12, 18, 30
6×6, 4×8, 7×5
32, 35, 36

Android app
Times Divide
Multiplication and division worksheets that follow what the child has already solved.
The app does not generate PDF sheets at random. It uses the child’s previous results, including offline sheets, so the next practice can focus on what still needs work.
- Generate printable PDFs from the child’s history.
- Enter solved offline sheets quickly after practice.
- The app shows each answer; you mark it correct or not.
