20 two-digit × two-digit problems with an answer key. Print with your browser; the answers print on a separate page.
How to use this worksheet
Print it, set a time limit if you like, and mark it with the key. Press “New worksheet” for a fresh set of numbers at the same level: every set is different, so it works for repeated practice and for a whole class.
Worked example: 77 × 82
Here is the method for the first problem on this sheet, step by step. The same steps work for every problem at this level.
- Split 82 into tens and ones: 80 and 2.
- Multiply 77 by each part: 77 × 80 = 6160 and 77 × 2 = 154.
- Add the partial products: 6160 + 154 = 6314.
What this level practises
Two-digit × two-digit is usually taught in grade 4. This sheet has 20 problems; the answers run from 520 to 6660, and the problem with the largest answer is 74 × 90 = 6660. Work through the sheet without a calculator, then mark it with the key: the aim is accuracy first and speed second.
Tips for multiplication
- Learn the tables in an order that builds on itself: 2, 10 and 5 first, then 4 and 8 by doubling, then 3, 6 and 9.
- Every fact has a twin: 7 × 8 is the same as 8 × 7, so there are far fewer facts to learn than it seems.
- For bigger numbers, split one factor into tens and ones and add the partial products.
- Short daily practice with mixed questions fixes facts in memory better than reciting one table at a time.
Printing
Use your browser’s print command. The menus, buttons and ads are left off the printout, and the answer key starts on a new page so it can be kept back. For a whole class, print one sheet, press “New worksheet” and print again to give each group different numbers.
