2-Digit by 1-Digit Multiplication Practice for Grade 4
A practice worksheet for 4th graders that walks through the vertical multiplication algorithm with a worked example, then gives students problems that do not require regrouping. It builds fluency with multiplying 2-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers and strengthens place-value understanding of tens and ones.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as independent practice after a short whole-class mini-lesson on the vertical algorithm, roughly 20-25 minutes.
- Discussion question: Why do we multiply the ones digit first, and what does the 'tens place' answer really represent?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have them place-value mark each number (e.g., 32 = 30 + 2) and multiply each part separately before combining.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to check each answer with an estimate or the distributive property, such as 4 x 21 = 4 x 20 + 4 x 1.
- Estimated time: about 20-25 minutes for the full set of practice problems, plus a short review of answers.
