Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to provide students with practice in multi-digit multiplication. It includes six problems, each presenting a three-digit number multiplied by a three-digit number, laid out in a grid format to assist with the calculation process. The grid format is particularly helpful in keeping the place values aligned and organizing the partial products that need to be added to find the final answer. At the top of the worksheet, there is a space for students to write their name.

The worksheet aims to teach students the lattice method of multiplication, which is an alternative to the standard algorithm. This method utilizes a grid to help students organize their work and ensure that they correctly align the numbers according to place value. By practicing this method, students can improve their understanding of the multiplication process and develop their ability to manage more complex arithmetic operations. The lattice method is particularly beneficial for visual learners who benefit from seeing the structure of their calculations.
