Place Value Multiplication Games

Use arrays, jumps and place value to multiply two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers. Show how you worked out each answer.

Build it and break it apart

Match each multiplication to its expanded calculation. Then solve the remaining problems.

1.Match each multiplication to the calculation that breaks it into tens and ones.
  • 26 × 3
  • 47 × 4
  • 58 × 2
  • (20 × 3) + (6 × 3)
  • (50 × 2) + (8 × 2)
  • (40 × 4) + (7 × 4)
2.A rectangular array has 6 rows of 23 counters. Split 23 into tens and ones, then use the area model to find the total number of counters.
3.Which list counts in equal jumps to show 8 × 6?
  • 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48
  • 6, 13, 20, 27, 34, 41
  • 8, 14, 20, 26, 32, 38
4.Show 12 × 4 as four equal jumps on the number line. Label the landing points and state the size of each jump and the product.

Distributive property puzzles

Use tens and ones to make multiplication easier.

5.Complete each place-value calculation: a) 19 × 3 = (10 × 3) + ( × 3) = + = ; b) 36 × 5 = ( × 5) + ( × 5) = + = .
6.Select every correct way to work out 32 × 6.
  • Add 32 six times.
  • Calculate (30 × 6) + (2 × 6).
  • Calculate (30 × 2) + (6 × 2).
  • Use an area model split into 30 and 2, with 6 in the other dimension.
7.A community garden has 28 rows of seedlings, with 3 seedlings in each row. How many seedlings are there altogether? Show a tens-and-ones calculation.
8.Find 46 × 7 in two different ways. Write both calculations and the answer.
9.Challenge: Work out 72 × 8 by splitting 72 into tens and ones. Show the two partial products and their total.
10.Which statement correctly shows how to find 39 × 4 using place value?
  • (30 × 4) + (9 × 4) = 156
  • (30 × 9) + (4 × 9) = 306
  • (39 × 4) = 39 + 4 = 43
  • (40 × 4) − 1 = 159
