A knowledge check on multiplying two-digit by one-digit numbers for Year 3 maths. Pupils fill in grid method partitions for 14 × 3, use expanded and short written methods for questions like 24 × 3 and 17 × 8, then link multiplication to division and spot errors in worked examples. Answer key at the end. Covers the England National Curriculum written multiplication objective.
Number — multiplication and division
“Write and calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division using the multiplication tables that they know, including for two-digit numbers times one-digit numbers, using mental and progressing to formal written methods”
The sheet walks the exact progression the objective describes, from grid to short method.
Complete grid method calculations for 14 × 3, then set up a grid for 13 × 8 from scratch.
Calculate questions like 24 × 3 using the expanded or short written method.
Inverse facts like 48 ÷ 4 from 12 × 4, an error to find, and a pencil-pack word problem.
Solutions for every section at the end.
Assessment check
Run it after teaching written multiplication to see who has moved past the grid.
Intervention group
The partitioning section scaffolds pupils not ready for the short method.
Homework
The worked structure gives parents a clear picture of the methods taught.
