Here are a set of practice pages for multiplying two, 2-digit numbers, using the standard, or efficient method.

A good knowledge of tables is necessary to be successful and it is well worth carrying out a quick estimate of the answer before starting so that any major errors can be spotted when looking at the final answer.
