Grade 4 Multiplication Worksheets — Free Printable PDF
Free Grade 4 multiplication worksheets — multi-digit multiplication, area model, partial products, word problems. Common Core 4.NBT aligned.
Grade 4 multiplication leaves the times tables behind and enters the world of multi-digit problems. A child who's fluent with 7 × 8 now has to compute 47 × 28. The procedure — multiply, regroup, line up the place values, add the partial products — is one of the longest multi-step calculations in elementary maths. It's where careful, methodical work becomes essential.
Our Grade 4 multiplication sheets follow the Common Core 4.NBT.B.5 progression: multi-digit by one-digit (warm-up), multi-digit by two-digit (the main event), then four-digit by one-digit. We include both the standard algorithm and the area model (also called the box method) — the area model is required by Common Core because it reveals WHY the algorithm works, not just how to do it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the area model?+
A grid method for multi-digit multiplication that breaks each number into place-value parts. For 47 × 28, you draw a 2×2 grid for (40+7) × (20+8) and fill in the four products.
Should kids learn the area model or the standard algorithm?+
Both. Common Core 4.NBT.B.5 requires the standard algorithm by Grade 5, but Grade 4 starts with strategies (including area model) before formalising it.
What size numbers should Grade 4 multiply?+
4-digit by 1-digit and 2-digit by 2-digit are the Grade 4 expectations.
Are word problems included?+
Yes — multi-step multiplication word problems appear on several sheets, covering 4.OA.A.3.
