Easily teach double digit multiplication with these zero prep, self-checking google sheets™ activities! This set includes 60 self-grading questions guaranteed to increase independence with the Area Model (also known as the Box Method) for multi-digit multiplication. Templated boxes and immediate feedback make this a major time-saver for this important skill! 

Watch your students gain confidence with partial products as they work independently on their multiplication. Built-in supports nudge students when they are stuck, such as color-coded templates and immediate feedback. Correct answers turn a bright color, while incorrect answers turn gray, so students can self-correct. Students will love getting to see their progress immediately, and this will free up time for you as well! My favorite part: No prep and No grading! 

Here's what you'll get:

A google drive™ folder with the following:

• 60 self-checking questions for the standard algorithm
• 15 questions each of: 

2 x 1 digits

2 x 2 digits

3 x 1 digit

3 x 2 digits

• Teacher instructions and answer keys

Formats Included: Google Sheets™ Google Drive™ folders

Your students will love seeing the boxes change color when they get correct answers. Since every question has a specific template with digit boxes, students will overcome common sticking points, such as including extra digits, forgetting to carry, or forgetting to put the zero. No longer will you be running around trying to help everyone at once, because this activity does it for you! 

Prep is quick and easy! Just assign in google classroom or any other online learning platform, and you're ready for a successful class!

This activity is compatible with google sheets and works with ANY device that is connected to the internet. It is easy to assign to your students, and even comes with a video tutorial for teachers that will show you how to assign and use it! You can also change the questions if you want to use it for different content.

If you are also teaching the standard algorithm or area model/box method:

The questions in this pack match EXACTLY with the two other sets, so you can explore other algorithms or even let students choose their favorites.

→ Self-Checking Standard Algorithm (same questions as this set)

→ Self-Checking Partial Products (same Questions as this set)

→ Get all three at a discount - Standard Algorithm, Partial Products, and Area Model

Standards Addressed:

4.NBT.B.5

Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

MA.4.4.C
Number and operations. The student applies mathematical process standards to develop and use strategies and methods for whole number computations and decimal sums and differences in order to solve problems with efficiency and accuracy. The student is expected to: represent the product of 2 two-digit numbers using arrays, area models, or equations, including perfect squares through 15 by 15;

MA.4.4.D
Number and operations. The student applies mathematical process standards to develop and use strategies and methods for whole number computations and decimal sums and differences in order to solve problems with efficiency and accuracy. The student is expected to: use strategies and algorithms, including the standard algorithm, to multiply up to a four-digit number by a one-digit number and to multiply a two-digit number by a two-digit number. Strategies may include mental math, partial products, and the commutative, associative, and distributive properties;

CE.4.4.b

The student will estimate and determine sums, differences, and products of whole numbers;
