Multiply Whole Tens Practice Activities
Class 4 printable maths worksheets for practising mental multiplication of whole tens such as 30 × 6, 40 × 20 and related facts.
Practice that builds confidence
Understanding whole tens multiplication
These Class 4 maths worksheets help children practise multiplying whole tens mentally. Learners use known multiplication facts, place value and zeros to work out products such as 20 × 7, 50 × 30 and 80 × 6 with confidence.
The printable activities include varied number sentences, missing-number questions and mixed practice that encourage children to think, not just count. They are useful for revision, homework, maths practice folders and quick classroom checks.
Multiplying whole tens builds on tables knowledge and place value. Children see that 4 × 6 helps them solve 40 × 6, and that 3 × 5 helps them solve 30 × 50 when they understand the value of each ten. The focus is mental multiplication, so pupils learn to break a problem into the basic fact first, then adjust for tens.
A clear progression for Class 4
Practice can begin with one whole ten and one single digit, such as 30 × 4 or 8 × 20. It can then move to multiplying two whole tens, such as 40 × 60. Missing-factor questions, for example 70 × __ = 560, help children connect multiplication and division while still using the same place-value idea.
Parent routine for home practice
Choose five questions and ask your child to say the basic fact aloud before writing the answer. For 60 × 7, they might say, “6 × 7 = 42, so 60 × 7 = 420.” Then ask them to explain where the zero came from. End with one reversed question, such as 7 × 60, to reinforce that the order of factors does not change the product.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these printables for warm-ups, mental maths drills, remedial groups or quick assessment after teaching multiplication by tens. They also work well in maths centres: one group solves, another checks using expanded thinking, and a third creates similar questions for peers. The format supports independent practice without needing lengthy instructions.
Common errors to watch for
Some children simply “add a zero” without checking the number of tens involved. This can lead to errors such as writing 30 × 40 as 120 instead of 1,200. Others confuse 6 × 70 with 60 × 70. Encourage pupils to underline the basic fact, count the tens, and estimate whether the answer is reasonable.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does multiplying whole tens mean?
It means multiplying numbers that are multiples of 10, such as 20, 40, 70 or 90. In Class 4, children use tables facts and place value to solve these mentally.
How should my child solve 50 × 6 mentally?
They can first think 5 × 6 = 30, then remember that 50 is 5 tens, so the product is 300. Saying the reasoning aloud helps prevent zero errors.
Do these worksheets include multiplying two whole tens?
Yes. Practice may include problems such as 30 × 20 or 40 × 60, where children multiply the non-zero digits and then account for the tens in both factors.
Why are missing-number questions useful in this topic?
Missing-number items help children look beyond direct calculation. They connect multiplication facts, place value and inverse thinking, such as finding the missing factor in 80 × __ = 560.
What is the most common mistake in multiplying whole tens?
A common mistake is adding the wrong number of zeros or forgetting place value. Children should identify the basic fact first and then check whether the size of the answer makes sense.
