These 2 digit by 1 digit multiplication worksheets are generated rather than scanned, which means you can print a different sheet every day of the week without paying for a subscription or running out of practice. A typical problem from the sheet in front of you is 54 × 2, which works out to 108; another is 14 × 7, giving 98.
‘New set of problems’ opens the generator in its own tab. There you can change the problem count and turn the answer key on or off. ‘Print or save as PDF’ opens the print dialog — choose Save as PDF in the printer list to keep the file. The sheet fits US Letter and A4, and the answer key prints on its own page.
Estimating before calculating changes the error rate more than any other single habit. Rounding the numbers in 14 × 7 first gives a range that 98 must fall inside.
Written multiplication is where the times tables get cashed in. In a problem like 54 × 2, the layout is simple and the arithmetic is not — every partial product depends on a fact being recalled instantly, and the answer 108 is only as reliable as the weakest of them.
If a child can do the layout but keeps getting the arithmetic wrong, the problem is table fluency rather than multiplication, and the times table pages linked below fix that faster than more lines like 89 × 8 will.
This sheet uses a two-digit number times a one-digit number, which is large enough to need the full written method and small enough to check by estimation, as the item 89 × 8 on this sheet shows.
Teachers usually place 2 digit by 1 digit multiplication worksheets alongside the multi-digit multiplication expectations for this grade, which is where the skill sits in the majority of US state frameworks.
| # | Problem | Answer | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 54 × 2 = | 108 | Watch for: omitting the place-holding zero |
| 2 | 14 × 7 = | 98 | Check: a shaky fact inside a correct method |
| 3 | 80 × 7 = | 560 | Look at: forgetting to add the partial products |
| 4 | 50 × 9 = | 450 | Ask about: adding the carry before multiplying |
| 5 | 89 × 8 = | 712 | Watch for: not estimating |
| 6 | 55 × 8 = | 440 | Check: carrying into the wrong column |
The item 14 × 7 is worth doing slowly. The answer to 14 × 7 is 98, and the route to it is the route every other problem on this sheet takes — which is why the sheet has 20 of them rather than one.
Try 80 × 7 together before letting the child start alone. The answer to 80 × 7 is 560, and talking through how it was reached takes about a minute and saves several minutes of guessing later in the sheet.
Keys are produced by the same code that produces the questions, so a mismatch between question and answer is not possible on these sheets.
The key prints on its own page by default. Uncheck the answer-key box before printing if you would rather keep it back and mark the sheet yourself.
Portrait orientation is what the sheet is designed for. Landscape works but wastes about a third of the paper, so leave the orientation alone unless you have a reason.
If the problems look cramped, drop the count from 20 to a smaller number before printing these 2 digit by 1 digit multiplication worksheets; the font stays the same size and the spacing opens up.
Print a sheet of 2 digit by 1 digit multiplication worksheets, run it for 10 minutes, mark it together, and come back tomorrow for a different set of numbers on the same skill.
