This multiplication worksheet generator makes new multiplications every time, by level, on the 4 mm squares that keep partial products in the right columns.

Student worksheet 
Answer key Long multiplication by two digits
Level 2 multiplies three digits by two (374 × 28): two partial products, shifted, and the final sum.
Zeros in the multiplier
Level 3 puts a zero in the middle or at the end of the multiplier (524 × 304, 618 × 40), the classic place to skip a column.
Three digits and custom level
Level 4 multiplies four digits by three. The custom level sets the digits of each number (up to 6 × 4) and whether there are zeros.
Answer key with partial products
The answer key writes every partial product and the final sum, with the carried digits, so you can mark the method and not only the answer.
Frequently asked questions about multiplication worksheets
When do children learn long multiplication?
Short multiplication by one digit is taught in Years 3 and 4, and long multiplication by two digits in Years 5 and 6.
What if they do not know their times tables yet?
Practise the tables first with the times tables generator; level 1 on this page then puts them to use.
How do I save it as a PDF?
Click “Print”, choose the worksheet, the answer key or both, and pick “Save as PDF” in the print window.
How many multiplications fit on a sheet?
Between 8 and 20, depending on their size: multiplying by three digits takes more room, so fewer fit and there is space for the partial products.
Are there multiplications with decimals?
Yes, in decimal operations, with the decimal point placed on the grid.
