What this worksheet covers
There are 72 multiplication problems here — one page to work, one page of answers to check against — and Sets B and C repeat the layout with different numbers. The expressions carry exponents, so the order of operations decides the answer and the numbers run as high as 96. Problems 25 and 49, for instance, are "25 × 10^1" and "7 × 10^1". Common Core 5.NBT.2 is the slot this page fills.
Skills practised
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: multiplying by powers of ten and multiplication facts to 12 × 12. Concretely, the sheet tests whether a student can apply the order of operations to powers. 61 different answers appear across the 72 problems, so a student cannot copy one result down the page.
About the timed drill format
The timer box at the top has room for minutes, seconds and a score out of 72; a realistic target for a page like this, where problem 25, "25 × 10^1" is a typical item, is four to five minutes. The times tables are the one set of facts that must be automatic, and a timed page is how you find out whether they are.
Set A, Set B and Set C
All three sets are produced by the site's deterministic generator from a fixed seed, so they are the same every time the site is built and the answer keys are exact. Where Set A's problem 37 is "39 × 10^1", Set B's is "14 × 10^2".
How to use this worksheet
Give this timed drill uninterrupted. At grade 5, multiplication is where procedure and recall have to run at the same time, and 72 problems done in fragments hide which of the two is the problem. Keep the key face down until all 72 problems are finished, then go through the misses together rather than only totalling the score.
