Multi-Digit Multiplication

By fifth grade the standard algorithm is the thing being practised, not the facts underneath it. Every problem pairs a three-digit number with a two-digit one, so there are two partial products to line up and add - the layout where place-value slips actually show, and the size fifth grade is expected to be fluent with.

Fifteen problems fit on a page, because at this size each one is a block of working rather than a line. Turn the answer key on and a wrong answer can be traced to the partial product that caused it rather than just marked.

Frequently asked questions

Where are the two-digit divisor division worksheets?

The Long Division page handles those - set the divisor range to two digits and it lays each problem out with room to work.

Can I make these easier?

Set the first range to two digits for two-digit by two-digit problems, which is where fourth grade finishes and fifth grade starts.

Are these worksheets free?

Yes, free to generate, download and print, with no account and no watermark.
