Other ways to solve this

Using 10 × 7 from this sheet (Set A, problem 2). Each method below reaches the same answer, 70, by a different route; pick the one that makes the most sense to you.

Lattice method

Helps keep carrying tidy: every digit product gets its own box, and you only add at the end.

Lattice for 10 × 7A 2 by 1 lattice with 10 across the top and 7 down the right side. Each box holds a digit product split by a diagonal, and the diagonal sums are written down the left side and along the bottom.1070700070

  1. Step 1Write 10 across the top and 7 down the right side, one digit per box.

  2. Step 2Multiply each pair of digits. Put the tens above the diagonal and the ones below it.

    • 7 × 1 = 7 → tens 0, ones 7
    • 7 × 0 = 0 → tens 0, ones 0

  3. Step 3Add along each diagonal, starting at the bottom right. Carry when a sum is 10 or more.

    • Diagonal 1 (from the bottom right): 0 = 0
    • Diagonal 2 (from the bottom right): 7 = 7
    • Diagonal 3 (from the bottom right): 0 = 0

  4. Step 4Read the digits down the left side and along the bottom: 7 0. So 10 × 7 = 70.

Step 1 of 4

Doubling and halving

Helps when you can halve and double quickly: the only hard step is one addition at the end.

Halving the left column and doubling the right. Rows with an even left value are crossed out.
HalveDoubleKeep?
710keep
320keep
140keep

  1. Step 1Put the smaller number, 7, in the left column and 10 in the right column.

  2. Step 2Halve the left number (drop any remainder) and double the right number, row by row, until the left reaches 1.

    • 7 | 10
    • 3 | 20
    • 1 | 40

  3. Step 3Cross out every row with an even number on the left.

  4. Step 4Add the right column of the rows that are left: 10 + 20 + 40 = 70.

  5. Step 5So 10 × 7 = 70.

Step 1 of 5

Estimate first

Helps you catch place-value slips: round, estimate, then check that the exact answer is close.

  1. Step 1Round each number to its first digit: 10 stays 10; 7 stays 7.

  2. Step 2Estimate: 10 × 7 = 70.

  3. Step 3Now work it out exactly: 10 × 7 = 70.

  4. Step 4Compare: the exact answer matches the estimate of 70.

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 practiced

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 totaling the score.

A step either side

The same format one grade down and one grade up — the easier sheet is often the faster fix when this one is not landing.
