Multiply by 50

This worksheet is designed to help students in Grades 4 and 5 build fluency and number sense when multiplying by 50. Through a wide variety of horizontal multiplication problems, students explore scaling, place value shifts, and multi-step reasoning as they learn that multiplying by 50 can be approached as halving and multiplying by 100 or using the structure 5 × n × 10.
