What this worksheet covers

Grade: Grade 3 (Elementary School)
Topic: Multiplication (2-Digit, 3-Digit)

Both factors get larger here, and the products are built in horizontal and in column form. The unit runs from 2-Digit×1-Digit up to 3-Digit×2-Digit, with Fill in the Blank and word problems using the same digit combinations, so each method is practiced where it belongs.

In 2-Digit×2-Digit column work, the second row is written without shifting one place to the left, and the answer comes out far too small. Rows whose right-hand ends line up identify this. Adding the carried number before multiplying rather than after, which turns 23 × 4 into 122, is also stubborn.

The procedure of multiplying one digit at a time, place by place, stays exactly the same. What grows larger is the digit count of the number being multiplied, up to two or three digits. The mental-math sense of multiplying by tens and hundreds, gained in Multiplication, comes back to help with lining up decimal points in Multiplication of Decimals in grade 5.
