By fourth grade, students are expected to know their multiplication facts from memory (that fluency goal is set in third grade by Common Core 3.OA.C.7) and to use them to multiply bigger numbers. Standard 4.NBT.B.5 asks students to multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit number, and to multiply two two-digit numbers, using place value and the properties of operations. Many classrooms teach the area model and partial products before the standard algorithm, because they show why the method works.
This practice set mixes quick fact questions, including the 11 and 12 facts, with multi-digit problems and word problems about boxes, seats and crayons. For multi-digit questions, students can use any method they trust: partial products, an area model or the standard algorithm. Each question checks instantly and comes with a worked solution that shows the place value steps. If a fact keeps tripping a student up, use a known fact to work it out, such as 7 x 8 = (7 x 4) x 2 = 28 x 2 = 56, then practice it again later.

Answer: B) 56
7 x 8 = 56. A helpful check: 7 x 4 = 28, and doubling 28 gives 56.
Answer: 54
9 x 6 = 54. Another way: 10 x 6 = 60, then take away one 6 to get 54.
Answer: C) 132
12 x 11 = 12 x 10 + 12 x 1 = 120 + 12 = 132.
Answer: 96
8 x 12 = 8 x 10 + 8 x 2 = 80 + 16 = 96.
Answer: B) 258
Partial products: 40 x 6 = 240 and 3 x 6 = 18. Add them: 240 + 18 = 258.
Answer: 1260 (also accepted: 1,260)
Partial products: 300 x 4 = 1,200, 10 x 4 = 40 and 5 x 4 = 20. Add them: 1,200 + 40 + 20 = 1,260.
Answer: B) 312
Split 13 into 10 + 3. 24 x 10 = 240 and 24 x 3 = 72. Add them: 240 + 72 = 312.
Answer: 900
Split 25 into 20 + 5. 36 x 20 = 720 and 36 x 5 = 180. 720 + 180 = 900.
Answer: B) 6 x 10 + 6 x 4
14 = 10 + 4, so 6 x 14 = 6 x 10 + 6 x 4 = 60 + 24 = 84. Both parts of 14 must be multiplied by 6 (the distributive property).
Answer: 216 (also accepted: 216 crayons)
Multiply 24 x 9. 20 x 9 = 180 and 4 x 9 = 36. 180 + 36 = 216 crayons.
Answer: A) 6,035
1,000 x 5 = 5,000, 200 x 5 = 1,000, 0 tens, and 7 x 5 = 35. Add them: 5,000 + 1,000 + 35 = 6,035.
Answer: 1504 (also accepted: 1,504)
47 x 30 = 1,410 and 47 x 2 = 94. Add them: 1,410 + 94 = 1,504.
Answer: B) 396
Multiply 18 x 22. 18 x 20 = 360 and 18 x 2 = 36. 360 + 36 = 396 seats. Adding 18 + 22 = 40 finds the wrong thing.
Answer: 12
Use the related division fact: 84 / 7 = 12. Check: 7 x 12 = 84.
In 24 x 13, the second row is 24 x 10 = 240, not 24. Dropping the zero gives 72 + 24 = 96 instead of 312.
In 43 x 6, 3 x 6 = 18, so 1 ten is carried. Forgetting to add it to 4 x 6 = 24 gives 248 instead of 258.
Writing 24 then 18 next to each other gives 2,418. Partial products must be added, not joined.
7 x 8 and 6 x 9 are easy to confuse (56 and 54). Use a related fact you are sure of to check.
