The worksheet titled "Mixed Two-Digit Multiplication Practice" includes two different kinds of two-digit multiplication problems. The top of each page features a problem with two-digit numbers that are multiplied by a single-digit number. Then, students practice two-digit by two-digit multiplication problems.
Third-grade worksheets feature shaded boxes, with lighter shading for the single-digit number and answer and darker shading for the tens digit and answer, with corresponding shading for carried numbers. Shading is not included on fourth-grade worksheets. A grid of dotted boxes surrounds the digits and answers in each problem, regardless of shading or grade level.
When practicing multiplication with bigger numbers, it can help to have students practice smaller numbers first. For example, students can practice multiplying double-digit numbers by single-digit numbers before they practice multiplying two double-digit numbers later on the worksheet.
Making the problems more visual can help students find the correct answer. For example, you can give them problems within a grid of boxes where every digit in the problem and answer has its own box that is aligned within each place value. Students can even be taught to draw lines or boxes when completing problems to help keep all of the digits organized on problems where a grid isn't present.
