Grade 5 multiplication mixed review sheet: 30 problems on three-digit by two-digit multiplication, two-digit by two-digit multiplication, multiplying by powers of ten, four-digit by one-digit multiplication.
Three different problem sets — same skill, same layout, fresh numbers.
Solve each problem. Read carefully — the problems change shape as you go.
Using 8,994 × 5 from this sheet (Set A, problem 1). Each method below reaches the same answer, 44,970, by a different route; pick the one that makes the most sense to you.
Helps you see every piece of a long multiplication before adding them up.
Step 1Split 8,994 into 8,000 + 900 + 90 + 4 and 5 into 5.
Step 2Multiply each part of 5 by each part of 8,994, starting with the ones.
Step 3Add the partial products: 20 + 450 + 4,500 + 40,000 = 44,970.
Step 4So 8,994 × 5 = 44,970.
Helps keep carrying tidy: every digit product gets its own box, and you only add at the end.
Step 1Write 8,994 across the top and 5 down the right side, one digit per box.
Step 2Multiply each pair of digits. Put the tens above the diagonal and the ones below it.
Step 3Add along each diagonal, starting at the bottom right. Carry when a sum is 10 or more.
Step 4Read the digits down the left side and along the bottom: 4 4 9 7 0. So 8,994 × 5 = 44,970.
Helps when you can halve and double quickly: the only hard step is one addition at the end.
| Halve | Double | Keep? |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 8,994 | keep |
| 2 | 17,988 | cross out |
| 1 | 35,976 | keep |
Step 1Put the smaller number, 5, in the left column and 8,994 in the right column.
Step 2Halve the left number (drop any remainder) and double the right number, row by row, until the left reaches 1.
Step 3Cross out every row with an even number on the left.
Step 4Add the right column of the rows that are left: 8,994 + 35,976 = 44,970.
Step 5So 8,994 × 5 = 44,970.
Set A of this grade 5 mixed review sheet holds 30 multiplication problems on one printable page, with the answer key on the page behind it. Within that, the expressions carry exponents, so the order of operations decides the answer and the numbers run as high as 9,599. Two problems from the middle of the page — "94 × 30" and "7712 × 3" — show the range. The sheet sits inside Common Core 5.NBT.5, in the grade 5 Number & Operations in Base Ten strand.
At grade 5, multiplication is about three-digit by two-digit multiplication and multiplying by powers of ten, and this sheet takes one slice of that. The skills on the page: three-digit by two-digit multiplication, two-digit by two-digit multiplication, and multiplying by powers of ten. Concretely, the sheet tests whether a student can apply the order of operations to powers.
The 30 problems are deliberately assorted — problem 11, "94 × 30" is followed by something of another shape — so the student has to read each one rather than run the last method again. Mixing facts, multiples of ten and larger products on one page keeps a student choosing a method instead of repeating one.
The three sets come from the same generator with three different seeds: same skill, same layout, fresh numbers, and an answer key computed with the problems. Where Set A's problem 16 is "75 × 10^1", Set B's is "8593 × 5".
By grade 5 a student should take all 30 multiplication problems in one sitting. If the page takes more than about fifteen minutes, the underlying facts are probably not automatic yet, and that is worth fixing before more multiplication practice piles on. Ask the student to re-work one missed multiplication problem from scratch on Set B rather than correcting it in place; the second attempt shows whether the method changed.
One mistake to watch for
Zeros are lost when multiplying by multiples of ten: 6 × 40 is answered 24 instead of 240. On this grade 5 mixed review, problem 15 ("70 × 29") is the kind of item where it shows.
The fact 6 × 4 is recalled and the ten is forgotten.
Rewrite 6 × 40 as 6 × 4 × 10 for a few days so the ten is a visible factor rather than a decoration.
The same skill in the other formats available at this grade.
The same format one grade down and one grade up — the easier sheet is often the faster fix when this one is not landing.
