Which problems can I make?

2, 3 or 4 digits times 1 digit, and 2 or 3 digits times 2 digits.

Is there room for the working?

Yes. Problems with a two-digit bottom number have two lines for the partial products, then a line for the total.

What does the answer key show?

The final product, and for two-digit multipliers both partial products, so you can see where a mistake happened.

Why are there no zeros or ones in the bottom number?

Multiplying by 0 or 1 skips the real work, so every digit of the bottom number is 2 to 9.

Long Multiplication Worksheets: 2-Digit to 3-Digit by 2-Digit, With Answer Keys

Step by step

2 digits by 1. Multiply the ones, carry, then multiply the tens.
3 and 4 digits by 1. The same steps across more columns.
2 digits by 2. Two partial products, one for the ones and one for the tens, then add them.
3 digits by 2. Bigger numbers, the same method.

Times tables first

Long multiplication goes smoothly once the facts are automatic. If they are not yet, practise with the times tables worksheets alongside.

In the MATATAG curriculum

Grade 3Multiplying 2- to 3-digit numbers by 1 digit, with and without regrouping, and estimating products with multiples of 10.
Grade 4Multiplying 3- to 4-digit numbers by 1 digit, and 2- to 3-digit numbers by 2 digits, with products up to 1,000,000.

The settings here map neatly onto MATATAG: 2 or 3 digits times 1 digit is Grade 3 work, while 4 digits times 1 digit and anything times 2 digits is Grade 4.

Estimating comes before calculating in both grades, and Grade 3 includes word problems with money. Ask for an estimate in pesos first, such as 6 notebooks at ₱38 being about 6 × ₱40, then check it against the worked answer.
