Double Digit Practice

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is focused on the box method of multiplication, which is a visual strategy for solving multiplication problems. It provides a series of problems where students multiply two numbers, beginning with a completed example to demonstrate the method. The example shows how to break the multiplication into parts using a grid to calculate the product of the numbers based on their place value. The rest of the worksheet gives similar problems with blank grids for students to fill in, utilizing the box method themselves.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to approach multiplication by segmenting the problem into smaller, more manageable pieces. It emphasizes understanding the place value of each digit and how to multiply each component separately, which helps to simplify the overall problem. By working through these exercises, students can improve their multiplication skills and build a foundation for more advanced mathematical concepts. The “How Did You Do?” section with emoticons allows students to self-assess their comprehension and comfort with the box method after practicing.
