How it works

These 6th grade multiplication worksheets open on decimal times decimal in columns, such as 3.46 × 2.7. The menu adds fractions and mixed numbers, exponents on 10, one-step equations and shared factors.

What multiplication means in grade 6

Common Core asks for fluent multi-digit whole-number multiplication in grade 5 (5.NBT.5). Grade 6 turns to decimals, and 6.NS.3 asks for the standard algorithm there too. Multiply as if there were no points, then count the decimal places: 3.46 × 2.7 has three, so 9342 becomes 9.342.

Where else it turns up

A grade 6 class also multiplies inside other topics. A fraction of a whole number: 3/4 × 24 and Mixed number × mixed number: 2 1/2 × 1 1/3 keep fraction work going, and One-step equations to solve by dividing: 7n = 84 reads a product backwards.

If decimal answers are ten times too big or too small, print Estimate first, then place the point: 6.2 × 4.9.

Questions and answers

What multiplication do 6th graders learn?

Multi-digit decimals by the standard algorithm, fractions and mixed numbers kept in use, and multiplication inside new topics: exponents, equations such as 7n = 84, and the distributive property with a common factor.

Are these multiplication worksheets grade 6 level or review?

Both. The decimal, exponent, equation and shared-factor sheets are grade 6 work. The two whole-number sheets and the fraction sheets practice what earlier grades taught, at the size a sixth grader should manage.

How do you multiply decimals?

Ignore the points and multiply the whole numbers, then count the decimal places in both factors and give the product that many. 4.6 × 23 uses 46 × 23 = 1,058 and one decimal place: 105.8.

Is there an answer key?

Yes. The key prints as the last page. For decimals it shows the whole-number product and the count of decimal places, and for fractions each step. To print the problems alone, untick Answer key before you press Print.

Decimals by the standard algorithm 4

Decimal word problems: equal lengths and loads One decimal amount, several times over: a ribbon is 3.75 meters long, so 6 ribbons are 6 × 3.75 = 22.5 meters. Each answer line ends in the unit of its story, and the key prints the multiplication under the answer.
Decimals × 2-digit whole numbers in columns One factor has no decimal part: 4.6 × 23 = 105.8. The digits are those of 46 × 23 = 1,058, and the product keeps the one decimal place of 4.6.
Estimate first, then place the point: 6.2 × 4.9 Each line gives the whole-number product and asks for the decimal one: 62 × 49 = 3,038, so what is 6.2 × 4.9? Pupils round to 6 × 5 = 30 and place the point where the answer is near 30: 30.38. The key prints the estimate.
Multi-digit decimals: 3.46 × 2.7 The sheet the page opens on: 12 problems in columns, hundredths times tenths. 3.46 × 2.7 = 9.342: multiply 346 × 27 = 9,342 as whole numbers, then count 2 + 1 = 3 decimal places. The key prints both steps. Common Core 6.NS.3 asks grade 6 for fluency with multi-digit decimals by the standard algorithm.

Whole-number fluency 2

Whole-number warm-up: 3-digit × 3-digit Three rows to add: 574 × 982 = 563,668 from 1,148 + 45,920 + 516,600. The digit work is the same as in a decimal problem, so this is the sheet for a pupil whose decimals go wrong before the point is placed.
Whole-number warm-up: 4-digit × 2-digit Two rows: 5,747 × 98 = 563,206 from 45,976 + 517,230. Twelve problems fit a page with room for both rows and the total.

Fractions and mixed numbers 3

A fraction of a whole number: 3/4 × 24 3/4 × 24 = 72/4 = 18: three quarters of 24. Every answer on this sheet is a whole number, so pupils can check by dividing first, 24 ÷ 4 = 6, and then multiplying, 6 × 3 = 18.
Fraction × fraction: 2/3 × 4/5 Numerator times numerator, denominator times denominator: 2/3 × 4/5 = 8/15. Where the product can be simplified the key shows both forms, as in 3/8 × 2/3 = 6/24 = 1/4.
Mixed number × mixed number: 2 1/2 × 1 1/3 Change both to improper fractions first: 2 1/2 × 1 1/3 = 5/2 × 4/3 = 20/6 = 3 1/3. Multiplying the whole parts and the fraction parts separately gives 2 1/6, which is too small.

Multiplication inside grade 6 topics 4

A decimal part of a whole number: 0.3 × 50 0.3 × 50 = 15. One factor is a whole number from 10 to 200 and the other is 0.1, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.75, 0.8 or 0.9. This is the multiplication behind a percent: Common Core 6.RP.3c reads 30% of a quantity as 30/100 times the quantity.
Exponents on 10: 4.6 × 10³ 10³ is 10 × 10 × 10 = 1,000, so 4.6 × 10³ = 4,600. The second factor is always 10 with an exponent of 1, 2 or 3. Common Core 6.EE.1 has grade 6 write and evaluate expressions with whole-number exponents.
In and out tables with × and ÷ rules, 13 to 25 Each table has one rule, such as × 15, and five rows: In 4, Out 60. Some rows hide the In number, so the rule has to be run backwards, 60 ÷ 15 = 4. Half the tables divide.
One-step equations to solve by dividing: 7n = 84 7n = 84 means 7 times a number is 84, so n = 84 ÷ 7 = 12. The key undoes each multiplication and checks it: 7 × 12 = 84. Common Core 6.EE.7 asks grade 6 to solve equations of the form px = q.

Shared factors and properties 3

Brackets first or multiplied out: 6 × (20 + 7) One product found two ways. Adding inside the brackets first gives 6 × 27 = 162; multiplying each part gives 120 + 42 = 162. Common Core 6.EE.3 has grade 6 apply the distributive property to make equivalent expressions.
Collect the shared factor: 8 × 7 + 2 × 7 Both products share a factor, so they can be added first: 8 × 7 + 2 × 7 = 10 × 7 = 70. The two other factors always make 10, 20 or 100. Common Core 6.NS.4 uses the same property to rewrite 36 + 8 as 4 × 9 + 4 × 2.
Three factors: bracket the pair that makes 10 or 100 Order and grouping are free in a product, so pick the easy pair: 6 × 5 × 20 = 6 × 100 = 600. Pupils put brackets round the two factors that make 10 or 100 and multiply those first.
