Structured Partial Products

This worksheet guides students through multi-digit multiplication using a scaffolded grid that breaks the algorithm into manageable steps. Students multiply each digit of the lower factor by each digit of the upper factor, writing partial products in properly aligned spaces. The staggered arrangement helps learners structure their thinking and reinforce place-value responsibility. The final addition row requires combining all partial products to compute the final answer accurately. This approach supports students who are still developing fluency with multiplying larger numbers. By using the grid, learners internalize how multi-step multiplication unfolds.
