Daily math practice for 4th grade

Five days of long multiplication, arranged so the round multipliers come first and the awkward ones come last.

What the 5 days look like

Multi-digit multiplication · 5 daily sheets plus an answer key — 6 sides in all.

  1. Monday Warm-up

    Monday's multipliers are round or small — 416 × 10, 298 × 20, 342 × 17.
  2. Tuesday Build

    Tuesday moves into the thirties and forties.
  3. Wednesday Practice

    Wednesday works the middle of the range.
  4. Thursday Stretch

    Thursday brings both numbers up together.
  5. Friday Challenge

    Friday is the nineties — 883 × 91, 987 × 96, 654 × 92.

Why a week beats one long page

Multi-digit multiplication is where arithmetic becomes a procedure with several steps, and where a child who is shaky on their tables finally cannot hide it. A week of it is the right shape: each page is short, and the days in between are when the algorithm stops needing to be re-derived.

How to run it

The climb is in the multiplier. Monday's are round or small — ×10, ×20, ×17 — so the partial products are easy to line up and the layout is the only new thing. By Friday every multiplier is in the nineties, where every partial product is a full piece of work and the columns have to be kept honest. A child who can do Friday's page has the algorithm.

Same week, different skill

Other Grade 4 packs

Every one of these builds a pack that gets harder day by day. A single times table fills three days rather than five — ten facts, each allowed back once. Skills whose questions are all one weight are left out.
