This is the second of our sets of worksheets which look at word problems involving multiplication. Only the 2x, 5x and 10x tables are used and children who knows these ‘off by heart’ will find the questions much easier. These pages are also helpful in getting children to recognise what type of maths operation needs to be carried out in order to reach a correct answer. Older children often have as much difficulty in recognising whether they should add, subtract, multiply or divide when faced with word problems as they do in carrying out the mental operations. These pages, plus much more on multiplication can be found in our Superbrains section, under Multiplication. Go to our Multiplication word problems 2 worksheets
