Every sheet of 3rd grade multiplication 2 digit by 1 digit worksheets on this page is built the moment you open it, so the 20 problems below are not the same ones the last visitor printed, and the answer key is generated with them. A typical problem from the sheet in front of you is 79 × 6, which works out to 474; another is 47 × 3, giving 141.
‘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.
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 71 × 6 on this sheet shows.
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 71 × 6 will.
Estimating before calculating changes the error rate more than any other single habit. Rounding the numbers in 47 × 3 first gives a range that 141 must fall inside.
Every sheet is regenerated, so the child practises the method rather than a particular set of partial products.
These 3rd grade multiplication 2 digit by 1 digit worksheets are commonly aligned with the multi-digit multiplication expectations for this grade, and the skill appears in most curricula somewhere around this point.
| # | Problem | Answer | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 79 × 6 = | 474 | Watch for: adding the carry before multiplying |
| 2 | 47 × 3 = | 141 | Check: a shaky fact inside a correct method |
| 3 | 21 × 7 = | 147 | Look at: not estimating |
| 4 | 27 × 3 = | 81 | Ask about: forgetting to add the partial products |
| 5 | 71 × 6 = | 426 | Watch for: carrying into the wrong column |
| 6 | 68 × 2 = | 136 | Check: omitting the place-holding zero |
The item 47 × 3 is worth doing slowly. The answer to 47 × 3 is 141, 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.
A good first problem to do together is 79 × 6, which comes out at 474. Do 79 × 6 once with the child narrating, then hand over the pencil and start the clock on the other 20 problems.
The answer key is generated with the worksheet, not written by hand, so it always matches the sheet in front of you — 79 × 6 is listed as 474, 47 × 3 as 141, and so on down the page.
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.
The sheet is laid out to fit one page on both US Letter and A4. Leave the browser scaling at 100% and turn headers and footers off, and the 20 problems land inside the margins on either paper size.
If the problems look cramped, drop the count from 20 to a smaller number before printing these 3rd grade multiplication 2 digit by 1 digit worksheets; the font stays the same size and the spacing opens up.
Keep the finished 3rd grade multiplication 2 digit by 1 digit worksheets in date order — the drop in time across ten sheets is the clearest progress report you will get.
