• Six or eight questions per page, drawn in column layout with a box for every digit and a box row for each partial product.

• Full answer key (the estimate and the exact answer shown) and teacher notes.

Year groups and use

Years 4 to 6 (KS2, ages 8 to 11). Use as a fluency starter, homework or targeted intervention.

Checked

Every question is generated by a program and every product is calculated twice, by ordinary arithmetic and by an independent digit-by-digit method (long multiplication is rebuilt from its partial products). The answer key is printed from the same data as the pupil pages.

Please note

Practice only: it supports teaching and does not replace it.
