Multi-Step Algorithm

This worksheet offers scaffolded support for practicing multi-digit multiplication using a step-by-step grid layout. Students follow the multiplication algorithm one digit at a time, writing partial products in aligned positions. The format reinforces the importance of place value as each partial product shifts left appropriately. When all individual steps are completed, students combine them in the addition section. This worksheet helps learners understand why the algorithm works, not just how to do it. It is ideal for reinforcing systematic thinking and computational accuracy.
