Grade 4 Multiplication Worksheets
At grade 4, multiplication means two- and three-digit by one-digit products and two-digit by two-digit multiplication. Below are six worksheets on it — one per format — each in Set A, B and C with keys.
What the grade 4 multiplication sheets cover
Grade 4 multiplication comes in six formats (problem counts in brackets): drill (30, straight practice), timed drill (72, timed fluency), missing number (24, find the blank), mixed review (30, mixed shapes), word problems (22, stories), and vertical format (18, column work). Set A uses numbers from 1 to 839 and 24 fill-in blanks. Problem types: two-digit by one-digit multiplication, two-digit by two-digit multiplication, and multiplication facts to 12 × 12, plus two more. All six come as Sets A, B and C with answer keys, 196 problems per set from 18 to 72 a sheet. From the Set A drill, problem 11: "71 × 5" (answer 355). Common Core: 3.OA.7, 4.NBT.5, and 4.OA.2.

The drill has 30 problems, numbers to 98 (problem 11: "71 × 5"). The timed drill has 72 problems, numbers to 500 (problem 25: "6 × 10"). The missing number has 24 problems, numbers to 656 (problem 9: "___ × 4 = 132"). The mixed review has 30 problems, numbers to 839 (problem 11: "2 × 50"). The word problems has 22 problems, story problems (problem 8: "A bakery made 56 muffins on Saturday. That was 7 times as…"). The vertical format has 18 problems, numbers to 95 (problem 7: "91 × 2").
Across the six sheets the generator draws on two-digit by one-digit multiplication, two-digit by two-digit multiplication, multiplication facts to 12 × 12, multiplying by multiples of 10 and 100, and three-digit by one-digit multiplication. The pages are tagged to Common Core 4.NBT.5, 3.OA.7, and 4.OA.2, and each tag links to the standards index.
If this level is not landing, step to grade 3 multiplication, where the focus is multiplication facts to 10 × 10 and 12 × 12, and multiplying by multiples of ten; if it is too easy, grade 5 moves on to three-digit by two-digit multiplication and multiplying by powers of ten.
Treat the three versions of each grade 4 multiplication sheet as a week: Set A on Monday to find the gaps, Set B midweek after the fix, Set C at the end as the check that it held — 196 problems per set across the row.
Estimate first
Before working a multiplication exactly, round each number to its first digit and multiply the rounded numbers in your head. Then work the exact answer and compare the two. If they are far apart, or have a different number of digits, the most likely cause is a place-value slip, such as a dropped zero or a partial product written one column over, and it is worth a second look before moving on.
From the Grade 4 Multiplication Timed Drill sheet: 3 × 12 rounds to 3 × 10, an estimate of 30. The exact answer, 36, is 6 away from the estimate and has the same number of digits, so it passes the check.
