Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a collection of multiplication problems, each consisting of a three-digit number multiplied by a single-digit number. The problems are laid out with a grid for each, facilitating the process of calculating and organizing the partial products that result from each step of the multiplication. The grids are partitioned to correspond with the place values of the digits in the three-digit numbers, which helps students in maintaining proper alignment of the numbers. A space is provided at the top of the worksheet for students to write their name, indicating it is meant for individual practice.

The worksheet is designed to teach students the long multiplication method, reinforcing their ability to multiply each digit of the larger number by the single-digit number, and then add the partial products together to obtain the final total. The grid format aids in keeping track of the multiplication process, especially when carrying over is required. This method of multiplication is essential for students to master as it forms the basis for more complex mathematical operations involving larger numbers. The goal is to build the students’ confidence and accuracy in performing multi-digit multiplication.
