Multiply By Ten Practice Activities
Printable maths drills that help children multiply whole numbers by 10 using place value, patterns, and quick recall.
Practice that builds confidence
What children learn
These Multiply By Ten practice activities help children build confidence with the 10 times table and understand why multiplying by 10 changes a number’s place value.
The worksheets include focused drill practice, missing-factor questions, number patterns, and quick mental maths tasks so children can move from counting in tens to fluent multiplication.
In this Mathematics > Math Drills > Multiplication set, children practise facts such as 3 × 10, 10 × 8, and 12 × 10. The main idea is that multiplying a whole number by 10 makes groups of ten, so the product is a multiple of 10. Children see that 6 × 10 means 6 tens, which is 60.
Building from pattern to fluency
The activities begin with repeated patterns in the 10 times table, then move towards mixed multiplication facts and missing-number work. Children may complete sequences such as 20, 30, 40 or solve 10 × __ = 90. This progression supports both recall and understanding, rather than just memorising a row of facts.
Parent practice routine
At home, start with skip-counting aloud by tens up to 100 or 120. Then ask five quick questions using everyday language: “What are 7 groups of 10?” or “If each packet has 10 pencils, how many in 9 packets?” After the worksheet, let your child circle any fact that felt slow and practise only those facts the next day.
Classroom uses
Teachers can use these pages for warm-ups, maths drill stations, early-finisher practice, or a short check before moving to larger multiplication facts. They also work well before place value lessons because children connect 4 × 10 with 4 tens and 40.
Common errors to watch for
Some children write 10 × 5 as 15 because they add instead of multiply. Others know the “add a zero” shortcut but do not understand it. Keep the language tied to tens: 8 × 10 is 8 tens, not just a trick. Also watch reversals in missing-factor questions, where children may answer with the product instead of the missing number.

Why iBloom worksheets help
iBloom worksheets give enough repetition for speed while varying the task format so children stay alert. A child-friendly strategy is: say the factor, say “tens,” then write the number. For 9 × 10, think “9 tens,” say “ninety,” and write 90.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What skill do these Multiply By Ten worksheets practise?
They practise multiplying whole numbers by 10, recognising multiples of 10, and using the 10 times table in direct and missing-number questions.
Should children just add a zero when multiplying by 10?
The shortcut can be useful for whole numbers, but children should also understand that 7 × 10 means 7 tens, which is 70.
How can I help my child who mixes up addition and multiplication?
Use group language. Ask, “How many groups of 10?” and draw quick groups or tens sticks before moving back to the written fact.
Are these worksheets useful for mental maths?
Yes. The repeated facts and pattern-based questions help children answer 10 times table questions more quickly and accurately.
Is this multiply by ten worksheet free?
Yes. You can preview it for free and use the printable worksheet for home or classroom practice.
Can I download this multiply by ten worksheet as a PDF?
Yes. Use the worksheet download option to save a printable PDF, or print the worksheet directly from the page.
Does this multiply by ten worksheet include answers or an answer key?
