Grade 6 multiplication leaves the 10×10 table behind. Ontario expectation B2.6 is a three-digit factor times a two-digit factor, and also times a decimal tenth. This printable preview is the whole-number side of that work, plus powers of ten. Students compute 213 × 10,000 and 350 × 10,000, then a vertical 119 × 13 and 238 × 41. A strategy item asks for the best decomposition of 256 × 34, and again of 412 × 17, so the partial products are visible before the algorithm. Missing factors still appear, as in __ × 6 = 60, and a short equal-groups story uses baskets of plums. Basic facts to 10×10, drawn as arrays, are the Grade 3 multiplication page.
Ontario curriculum: Mathematics (2020) · Number B2.6 — multiply three-digit whole numbers by two-digit whole numbers and by decimal tenths
What size of product does Ontario expect in Grade 6?
B2.6 is a three-digit whole number times a two-digit whole number, and multiplication by decimal tenths. The preview shows 119 × 13 and 238 × 41, along with multiplication by 10,000.
What is a place-value decomposition on this sheet?
Students choose a split that makes 256 × 34 easier, such as breaking a factor by place. A second item does the same for 412 × 17. The question asks for the decomposition, not only the final product.
Where are the array and skip-counting questions?
Those representations are on the Grade 3 multiplication worksheet, which stays within 10×10. This Grade 6 page assumes the facts and works on larger products.
