We all know that multiplication is not that difficult. But do you know what it means? Multiplication is related to addition. It means to add numbers to certain times. To make multiplication easier, most of us learn times table by heart. These times tables help us in solving many two number multiplication sums and benefit in the multiplication of larger numbers. For instance, you can easily answer 3x 3= 9, but for multiplication of 14 x 34 or 234x 44 you need a different approach. Let's see how you can multiply single and double digit numbers. First, write a larger number over the smaller number. Make sure that the tens, units columns of both the numbers line up. For example, you are given to solve 56 into 9. You write 6 over 9. Start multiplying the units of the smaller number with the larger number. In this case, multiply 9 with unit place of 56. Continue the same method with the tenth place of the double digit number. Remember when multiplying with the tenth place of smaller number start multiplication with a zero. Once you have multiplied the single digit with double digit, add your answers. The addition works the same in this case. Start adding numbers from the unit place and proceed to the tenth. You are done!

Students in this section will find the product of a single and double digit number. It often helps to teach students to break the double digit number into tens and ones places. This makes them much more proficient at perform multiplication problems. As an example consider multiplying 6 and 58. We would start by breaking 58 into 50 and 8. We would multiply 6 by both of these and then add them. 6 x 50 = 300, 6 x 8 = 48. The product would be 348 (300 + 48). These worksheets provide students an opportunity to practice multiplying single and double-digit numbers. Students will also learn how to use columns in order to multiply two-digit numbers.
