This Grade 5 multi-digit multiplication easy worksheet introduces 3-digit by 1-digit problems aligned to CCSS 5.NBT.5. Students apply the standard algorithm, carry digits across place values, and explain their reasoning through short answer prompts. Problems like 245 times 6 build fluency, place value awareness, and the foundation needed before tackling 2-digit multipliers in later sheets. Grade 5 students master standard algorithm.

Multi-Digit Multiplication
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
To multiply 245 by 6, I add 245 plus 6 to get 251 as the product.
Rewrite: To multiply 245 by 6, I multiply each place value: 6 ones times 245 equals 1,470 as the product.
2. Fix the sentence:
When multiplying 132 by 4, I write the answer as 428 because 4 times 1 is 4, 4 times 3 is 12, and 4 times 2 is 8.
Rewrite: When multiplying 132 by 4, I write the answer as 528 by multiplying right to left with place value: 4 times 2 ones is 8, 4 times 3 tens is 120, and 4 times 1 hundred is 400.
3. Fix the sentence:
I multiplied 318 by 7 and got 2,156 by forgetting to add the carried digit.
Rewrite: I multiplied 318 by 7 and got 2,226 by adding the carried digit at each step of the standard algorithm.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The product of 245 and 6 is 1470.
2. When you multiply 124 by 3, the product is 372.
3. The result of multiplying 213 by 4 equals 852.
4. The product when 318 is multiplied by 7 is 2226.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. Explain how you would multiply 245 by 6 using the standard algorithm.
I line up 245 with 6 below the ones place. I multiply 6 times 5 ones equals 30, write 0 and carry 3. Next I multiply 6 times 4 tens equals 24 tens, plus the carried 3 makes 27 tens, write 7 and carry 2. Then 6 times 2 hundreds equals 12 hundreds, plus the carried 2 makes 14 hundreds. The final product is 1,470.
2. How does place value help you multiply 132 by 4 correctly?
Place value tells me that the 1 in 132 means 100, the 3 means 30, and the 2 means 2. So when I multiply by 4, I find 4 times 100 equals 400, 4 times 30 equals 120, and 4 times 2 equals 8. Adding the partial products 400 plus 120 plus 8 gives me 528 as the final product.
