What is multiplication?
Multiplication is a quick way of adding the same number again and again. 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 can be written as 3 × 4 = 12. The number being multiplied is the multiplicand, the number we multiply by is the multiplier and the answer is the product.
Think of multiplication like a train 🚂 with equal carriages. If each of 6 carriages has 72 seats, the train has 6 × 72 = 432 seats!
Kinds of multiplication sums
| Kind | Example | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| ✅ Without carrying | 213 × 3 | 639 |
| 🔁 With carrying | 1,452 × 6 | 8,712 |

| 🔢 By a 2-digit number | 46 × 23 | 1,058 |
| 🎯 Estimation | 48 × 21 | about 1,000 |
How to multiply big numbers
- Write the bigger number on top and the multiplier under the ones place.
- Multiply each digit, starting from the ones place.
- Add the carry, write the ones digit and carry the tens digit to the left.
- For a 2-digit multiplier, multiply by the ones, then by the tens with a 0, and add.

How to multiply in columns
| Step | Example: 1,452 × 6 |
|---|---|
| 1. Ones | 2 × 6 = 12 → write 2, carry 1 |
| 2. Tens | 5 × 6 + 1 = 31 → write 1, carry 3 |
| 3. Hundreds | 4 × 6 + 3 = 27 → write 7, carry 2 |
| 4. Thousands | 1 × 6 + 2 = 8 → write 8 |
| Answer | 8,712 |
Multiplying by a 2-digit number
| Step | Example: 46 × 23 |
|---|---|
| 1. Multiply by the ones | 46 × 3 = 138 |
| 2. Multiply by the tens | 46 × 20 = 920 |
| 3. Add | 138 + 920 = 1,058 |
Properties of multiplication
| Property | Rule | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Order | a × b = b × a | 12 × 5 = 5 × 12 |
| Zero | a × 0 = 0 | 879 × 0 = 0 |
| One | a × 1 = a | 236 × 1 = 236 |
| Grouping | (a × b) × c = a × (b × c) | (2 × 3) × 4 = 2 × (3 × 4) |
Types of questions
- Multiply in columns
- Multiply by 10 and 100
- Fill in using properties

Solved examples
Common mistakes
| Mistake | Correct |
|---|---|
| Forgetting to add the carry | Multiply first, then add the carry. |
| Adding the carry before multiplying | 5 × 6 + 1 = 31, not (5 + 1) × 6. |
| Missing the 0 for the tens digit | 46 × 20 = 920, not 92. |
| Thinking a × 0 = a | Any number × 0 = 0. |
Daily life
We multiply every day: the cost of many items at the same price, the number of seats in rows, the number of days in many weeks, or the pencils in many boxes. Good multiplication skills make all of these quick and correct.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Revise times tables up to 10 often; they make big sums easy.
- Use arrays of objects to show what multiplication means.
- Ask the child to estimate first, then multiply, then compare.
- Use shopping lists with prices for word problems.
- Let the child retry the challenges to earn 3 stars.

Multiplication is a quick way of adding the same number many times. In Class 4, children multiply large numbers by 1-digit and 2-digit numbers, with and without carrying.
What are multiplicand, multiplier and product?
The number being multiplied is the multiplicand, the number we multiply by is the multiplier and the answer is the product. In 25 × 4 = 100, 25 is the multiplicand, 4 is the multiplier and 100 is the product.
How do we carry in multiplication?
Multiply the digit, then add any carry. Write the ones digit of the answer in that column and carry the tens digit to the next column on the left.
How do we multiply by 10 and 100?
To multiply by 10, put one 0 at the end of the number. To multiply by 100, put two 0s. So 45 × 10 = 450 and 45 × 100 = 4,500.
How do we multiply by a 2-digit number?
Multiply by the ones digit, then by the tens digit (write a 0 first), and add the two answers. 46 × 23 = 46 × 3 + 46 × 20 = 138 + 920 = 1,058.
What are the properties of multiplication?
Order: a × b = b × a. Zero: a × 0 = 0. One: a × 1 = a. Grouping: (a × b) × c = a × (b × c).
