Support your students in building confidence and fluency with multiplication using our Multiplication Strategies: Lattice Method resource! This engaging set of worksheets provides structured practise with the lattice multiplication strategy, helping students visualise and understand each step of the process.

The resource includes both 2-digit and 3-digit multiplication questions, with helpful prompts included on each worksheet to guide students as they work through the lattice method. By breaking down the multiplication process into clear, manageable steps, this strategy supports students in developing accuracy and a deeper understanding of place value.

Multiplication Strategies: Lattice Method is perfect for whole-class instruction, small group work, or independent practise. Use the worksheets for initial teaching, guided practise, or repeated review - laminated copies or write and wipe sleeves make them ideal for ongoing use.
