I struggled to find some questions to test pupils long multiplication skills, therefore I created this differentiated resource for a year 7 class. The red questions are there to provide support to those pupils who are struggling by providing the answer and hence they just need to fill in the middle section. The amber is there to get pupils thinking about which numbers could be replaced by the letters. The green section asks pupils to identify the error and make the correction. For challenge I have asked the pupils to think about which makes a larger number, multiplying a two digit by a two digit or multiplying a three digit by a two digit, and is it always true?

Hi, Please check your answer to the first Qu: 27 x 14 = 378
Great in theory but questions like this can lead to misconceptions that a letter used as a variable in algebra actually is just replacing a digit e.g. the term 7a where a=5 would be 75 opposed to 7x5=35.
Thanks so much for this wanted something for an unexpected cover lesson- this was fab and worked a treat
Hi, its a good worksheet but the first question in the red section seems wrong?! 27x14=378 not 10488 Thanks.
Green section is what I was looking for, thanks
