2 digit by 3 digit Multiplication

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a set of six problems focused on multi-digit multiplication. Each problem is set up with a lattice grid, where the multiplicands are placed along the top and right-hand side of the grid. The lattice method involves drawing diagonal lines through the grid squares, which will later be used to sum the products of individual digits. Each section of the lattice is used to calculate the product of one digit from each multiplicand, demonstrating a visual and systematic approach to multiplication.

The worksheet aims to teach students the lattice method of multiplication, a technique that breaks down the multiplication of large numbers into simpler, single-digit multiplications. It emphasizes the importance of place value and the distribution of products across the lattice grid. The method provides a clear visual representation of how each part of the number contributes to the final total. This approach is intended to enhance students’ understanding of the multiplication process and improve their ability to handle complex calculations.
