Multiplying 2 and 3-Digit by 1-Digit Numbers

It's time to practice basic multiplication skills! In this fifth grade-level multiplication lesson, students will practice multiplying 2- and 3-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers. The multiplication problems are presented in several formats: vertical multiplication problems, horizontal multiplication problems, and multiplication word problems. Here are some examples of math problems students may be asked in this online math practice activity: "22 x 7 =", "876 x 3 =", and "Discovery Charter School's PTA was hosting an ice cream social. They ordered four boxes of 480 plastic spoons for the event. How many spoons did the PTA order in all?"

If students need a little extra help answering their multiplication problems, they can click on the "Hint" button on their practice screen. They will be prompted to take the first step in solving the problem, multiplying the ones. If students answer a question incorrectly, they will be showed a detailed explanation page with the correct answer, including a custom graphic that provides step-by-step instructions for how to solve the multiplication problem correctly, so students can learn from their mistakes and improve their skills.

As with all the interactive math practice activities on "I Know It," this basic multiplication lesson includes several features that help students make the most out of their math practice time. A progress-tracker in the upper-right corner of the screen shows students how many math problems they've solved in the lesson so far, and how many are left to go. A score-tracker beneath that shows them how many math problems they have solved correctly so far. A speaker icon in the upper-left corner of the screen gives students the option of having the question read aloud to them in a clear voice. This option is great for ESL/ELL students or students who prefer auditory learning.
