Six to the third power, not 6*3. You want to know how many different COMBINATIONS of 3 rolls, not just how many different results you can get on each individual roll. Don't multiply 6 and 3, you want to multiply 6 three times.
6^3 = 6*6*6 = 216 possible combinations.
If you multiply 6 and 3, you're just adding six results on the first roll, six on the second roll, and six on the third roll. But there are way more combinations than that. I'll start off and show you.

136.....See, I'm already at 18 combinations and I've barely gotten started. I'm still only counting the possible results where you get a "1" on the first roll, and I'm only halfway done with those. There are 216 possible.

If the dice is rolled only 3 times, there are only 3 possible results (outcomes).

Another bit of trivia: Just a reminder, dice is plural, die is singular.
As he crossed the Rubicon, Caesar said, "The die is cast!"
