Product description
From the author
Complete 22 multiplication problems, then place the products from least at the bottom to greatest at the top of a Hurricane Katrina-themed illustration. One worksheet uses one-digit factors; the other mixes one- and two-digit factors.
The four-page PDF includes both worksheets and their answers. The illustration compares a 22-foot high-water mark with a 14-foot home; the calculated products are ordering values, not water-depth measurements.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Solve multiplication problems with one-digit factors and mixed one- or two-digit factors
Order the calculated products from least to greatest
Read the illustration’s height labels separately from the product-ordering task
Teaching tips
Use Worksheet 1 (single-digit factors) for on-grade Grade 3 practice and Worksheet 2 (two-digit factors) for students ready for a challenge.
Discuss the real-world hurricane context, Katrina's 22-foot surge against a 14-foot home, before assigning the math, since the scale only makes sense with that reference.
Check work quickly using the included answer pages, which already show each product placed on the height scale.
Skills covered
Multiplication fact fluency — students solve 22 single- or double-digit multiplication problems per worksheet.
Ordering whole numbers — students arrange their 22 computed products from least to greatest on a vertical scale.
Real-world scale interpretation — students distinguish the illustration’s height labels from the computed products placed in order.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Do the two worksheets use the same multiplication problems?
No. The first worksheet uses single-digit factors (for example 2×3), while the second repeats the same 22-problem format with larger two-digit factors (for example 12×3) for a harder version.
