On this Grade 5 worksheet, students write a word problem requiring 4-digit by 2-digit multiplication, then solve and explain using partial products. Multiple choice and fills guide planning, computing, magnitude estimating, and verifying. Grade 5 learners practice 1248 times 36 equals 44928, compare with rounded estimates near 45000, and articulate each step to demonstrate fluency with multi-digit multiplication. Grade 5 students design own problems.
Style:
Multi-Digit Multiplication
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. Grade 5 students need a 4-digit by 2-digit multiplication. Which problem fits?
A) 234 times 56
B) 1234 times 7
C) 1248 times 36
D) 12480 times 36
2. A stadium seats 1248 fans per section with 36 sections. Total fans?
A) 44,928 fans
B) 4,928 fans
C) 44,488 fans
D) 44,288 fans
3. Estimating 1248 times 36, the Grade 5 magnitude is closest to which value?
A) About 4,000
B) About 45,000
C) About 450,000
D) About 4,500
4. Which step should Grade 5 students do FIRST when solving a 4-digit by 2-digit word problem?
A) Compute the exact product before reading
B) Identify what is asked and the factors
C) Round both numbers and stop
D) Subtract one factor from the other
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. A Grade 5 student writes: a warehouse stores 1248 boxes in each of 36 trucks. Total boxes equals 44928.
2. Estimating 1248 times 36, Grade 5 students round to 1250 times 36, which equals 45000.
3. Difference between exact 44928 and estimate 45000 is 72.
4. If the 36 trucks each gain 12 more boxes, the new total is 45360.
5. A Grade 5 explanation must include the question, factors, method, computation, and magnitude check.
