Where 4-digit × 1-digit sits in the standards
Four digits by one digit is the largest one-digit size the standards name: Common Core 4.NBT.5 and Texas 4.4(D) both set it for grade 4. Nothing new happens after 3-digit × 1-digit: one more digit product and one more carry. The answer has four or five digits, up to 9,999 × 9 = 89,991.
4 digit multiplication worksheets with a 2-digit multiplier
The 4-digit × 2-digit group under Sheet type is for grade 5 and up. Each problem has two rows of working and a sum, such as 4,736 × 58 = 37,888 + 236,800 = 274,688. Texas 5.3(B) stops at 3-digit by 2-digit, so treat this size as extension work there.
Start with 4-digit × 1-digit, no carrying. With nothing to carry, a wrong answer points to a times table fact, not to the method.
Estimate before a test: 4,736 × 8 is about 5,000 × 8 = 40,000, so a four-digit answer fails at once.
For pupils whose digits drift, lined paper turned sideways gives columns for the one-digit sheets.
Questions and answers
What grade are 4 digit by 1 digit multiplication worksheets for?
Grade 4 in the United States. Common Core 4.NBT.5 and Texas 4.4(D) both set up to four digits by one digit for fourth grade. In grade 5 the same sheets make a short September review before 2-digit multipliers.
How do you multiply a 4-digit number by a 1-digit number?
Work from the ones to the thousands, multiplying each digit, then adding the carry. In 4,736 × 8 the ones give 48: write 8, carry 4. Then 24 + 4 = 28, 56 + 2 = 58 and 32 + 5 = 37: 37,888.
What goes wrong with a zero inside the top number?
The carry gets lost. In 3,208 × 6, after 6 × 8 = 48 a 4 is carried, and the next step is 6 × 0 = 0. Writing the 0 and dropping the 4 gives 19,208 where the answer is 19,248.

4-digit × 1-digit 3
4-digit × 1-digit, any digits4,736 × 8 = 37,888, with a carry at every step: 48, then 24 + 4, then 56 + 2, then 32 + 5. The page opens on this sheet: 12 problems in columns, with the answer key on page 2.
4-digit × 1-digit, no carryingEvery digit product stays under 10, so nothing is carried: 2,132 × 3 = 6,396. Pupils see that each digit is simply multiplied in its own place.
4-digit × 6, 7, 8 or 94,879 × 7 = 34,153. The top number is built from the digits 4 to 9 and the multiplier is 6 or more, so every step carries and the facts are the hard ones, such as 7 × 8. The answer always has five digits.

4-digit × 2-digit 4
4-digit × 2-digit on squared columns2,416 × 35 = 84,560, printed on a background of squares with one digit to a square, 6 problems to a page. Answers run to six digits, and the squares keep both rows and the sum in the right columns.
4-digit × 2-digit, any digits4,736 × 58 = 274,688: the rows are 37,888 (× 8) and 236,800 (× 50). Common Core 5.NBT.5 names no largest size for the standard algorithm. Texas 5.3(B) names 3-digit by 2-digit, so this size is one step past it. 9 to a page.
4-digit × a multiple of 102,416 × 30 = 72,480. Work 2,416 × 3 = 7,248, then write a zero to make it ten times as large. Every 4-digit by 2-digit problem contains a row like this one, so it gets a sheet of its own.
4-digit × a teen number3,125 × 14 = 43,750, from the rows 12,500 (× 4) and 31,250 (× 10). With a 1 in the tens place the second row is the top number with a zero after it, so the effort goes into the first row and the sum.
Units and word problems 3
Miles to feet, days to minutesA mile is 5,280 feet or 1,760 yards, a day is 1,440 minutes and an hour is 3,600 seconds. So 3 miles is 5,280 × 3 = 15,840 feet, and a week is 1,440 × 7 = 10,080 minutes.
Perimeter of a squareA square field has sides of 1,275 feet, so its perimeter is 4 × 1,275 = 5,100 feet. Texas 4.5(C) names 4s as the special form of the perimeter formula; here it is a 4-digit by 1-digit problem with a fixed multiplier.
The same amount every dayA bakery uses 2,350 grams of flour a day, so in 6 days it uses 2,350 × 6 = 14,100 grams. 6 problems to a page.
How this list was compiled: Sheet types, wording and worked examples are own work; every worked example was computed twice by script (python and node) on 2026-09-19. Standards wording checked 2026-09-19 against the full text of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (national copy, https://learning.ccsso.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/ADA-Compliant-Math-Standards.pdf, read again 2026-09-20): 4.NBT.5 (up to four digits by one digit), 4.OA.3 (multistep word problems, reasonableness by estimation), 4.MD.2 (word problems that express a larger unit in a smaller unit), 4.MD.3 (area and perimeter formulas) and 5.NBT.5 (standard algorithm, no largest size named). Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, 19 TAC chapter 111 subchapter A, adopted 2012 (https://tea.texas.gov/laws-and-rules/sboe-rules-tac/sboe-tac-currently-effect/ch111a.pdf): 4.4(D) (up to a four-digit number by a one-digit number; strategies may include partial products), 4.4(G) (round to the nearest 10, 100 or 1,000 to estimate), 4.4(H) (one- and two-step problems), 4.5(C) (perimeter of a square, 4s), 4.5(D) and 5.3(B) (three-digit by two-digit with the standard algorithm). Long multiplication as one shifted row per multiplier digit checked 2026-09-19 against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_algorithm. The mile as 5,280 feet or 1,760 yards checked 2026-09-19 against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mile. 1,440 minutes in a day and 3,600 seconds in an hour are 24 × 60 and 60 × 60. Fix pass 2026-09-20: the sheet Four partial products was removed because the partial products page owns that sheet, and one sentence that said how often pupils lose a carry was reworded; 4.NBT.5, 5.NBT.5, Texas 4.4(D) and 5.3(B) were read again that day.
