Multiplication and division - Multiply two digits by one digit - Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to help children practice and enhance their multiplication skills, specifically multiplying two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers, with an emphasis on understanding and performing exchanges. The worksheet presents a series of word problems that incorporate practical scenarios, such as calculating the total number of apples in multiple boxes or the total number of pages in multiple copies of a report. The problems are based on 2, 3, and 5 times tables, and children are expected to show their working out in the provided grids, drawing counters where necessary to aid their calculations. Once they have worked through the problems, they are to write their final answers in the designated empty boxes.

The worksheet also includes fluency and precision exercises, where children are tasked with answering direct multiplication questions, such as determining the total number of sweets in multiple packs or the total number of toys in several boxes. These exercises serve to reinforce the children's understanding of multiplication in various contexts, including financial calculations and measurements. The problems require the children to convert written numbers into numerical form and use the grid method to solve two-step word problems, with spaces provided for them to neatly present their solutions and final answers. This structured approach aims to build a strong foundation in multiplication while also developing problem-solving skills.
