- 2 x 1 digit – Products to 999 e.g. 93 x 4
- 2 x 1 digit – regrouping e.g. 73 x 7
- 2 x 1 digit e.g. 54 x 5: note: requires only 2x, 5x, or 10x multiplication facts.
- 3 x 1 digit e.g. 252 x 8: note: requires only 2x, 5x, or 10x multiplication facts.
Two more worksheet generators both based on the box or grid method of multiplication: this is the first box method multiplication worksheet generator and this is the second similar worksheet generator.
For Deriving Multiplication Facts
The worksheets below have been developed with students who struggle with memorizing multiplication facts in mind. For example, the two “Doubles” worksheets help students to use a known fact such as 2 x 6 = 12 to derive 4 x 6 = 24.
- Doubles up to 10 e.g. 2 x 1 up to 2 x 10
- Doubles up to 50 e.g. 4 x 9 = 36 so 8 x 9 = 72
Number Strips/ Factor Pairs
The seven worksheets below show stacked number strips that correspond to the sets of factor pairs of each product. These provide a visualization of the relationship between factors.
- Factor Pairs: 4, 6, & 8
- Factor Pairs: 9, 10, & 12
- Factor Pairs: 14, 15, & 16
- Factor Pairs: 18, 20, & 21
- Factor Pairs: 22, 24, & 25
- Factor Pairs: 28 & 30
- Factor Pairs: 32 & 36
Multiplying by Multiples of 10
- Multiplying by Multiples of 10 (e.g. 50 x 7)
- Multiplication Bingo (with multiplication by multiples of 10)
Here is another multiplication worksheet generator. It allows limitless multi-digit multiplication questions to be generated and printed. Both numbers can also be set to be multiples of 10 or of 100.
- 3 x 1 digit e.g. 436 x 7
- 2 x 2 digit – no regrouping e.g. 42 x 23
- 2 x 2 digit – regrouping e.g. 57 x 34
- 3 x 2 digit e.g. 234 x 36
- 4 x 1 digit e.g. 5316 x 8
- 4 x 2 digit e.g. 5316 x 28
- 3 x 3 digit e.g. 829 x 115
Creative Multiplication Methods
The worksheet below is more a guidance document for parents than it is a worksheet. It includes notes and examples that parents can use to explore different methods of multiplying numbers with their children. This exploration will help encourage children to experiment and develop their number sense.

Understanding Multiplication
The documents below provide printable multiplication cards that show different representations of multiplication. e.g. conventional number sentences, grids, arrays of objects. One possible activity is to lay the cards out face up and encourage your children to pick up as many as possible that represent the same multiplication operation.
