This Grade 4 mathematics worksheet develops two-digit by two-digit multiplication through an area model. Students first write two-digit numbers in expanded form, identify the tens and ones represented by colored boxes, and select the partial multiplication products for each section of the model. These steps connect place value to multiplication and help students see how a larger product is built from smaller products. The 14-item practice set includes multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank equations, and a multiple-select item. It also asks students to solve products involving multiples of ten, such as 4 × 30, 70 × 3, 5 × 60, and 8 × 60. This free printable worksheet is designed for Grade 4 math instruction, independent practice, review, or assessment, and includes a complete answer key for checking student work.

This Grade 4 worksheet practises decomposing two-digit numbers into tens and ones, identifying the labeled parts of an area model, and selecting the correct partial products. Its 14 items use multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and multiple-select formats to connect expanded form with multiplication and products involving multiples of ten.
Begin by modeling how a number such as 49 becomes 40 + 9, then show how the tens and ones fill separate sections of the area model. Have students explain which two factors belong in each colored section before they complete the partial-product items and solve equations such as 4 × 30 and 8 × 60. Use the answer choices to discuss why reversing, omitting, or miscomputing a partial product changes the final result.
Students may confuse a digit with its place value, choosing 4 instead of 40 or 9 instead of 90 when expanding a number. They may also place the wrong tens or ones value in a colored box, pair factors from different sections, or select an incorrect product such as 20 × 10 = 300. In the final equations, check for errors involving the zero in multiples of ten, such as answering 48 instead of 480 for 8 × 60.
This worksheet is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground, so you can use the area-model questions for paper practice or online assessment. It includes a complete answer key, and printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app. The printable format can also support schools that are reducing screen time.
Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing and font size so the colored area-model labels, answer choices, and equations are easier to track. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when that supports access to the expanded-form and partial-product tasks.
