Twelve 3-digit by 1-digit multiplications in columns, such as 438 × 7. Every problem needs at least one regrouping, and many need two, so children work through the ones, then the tens, then the hundreds, adding the carried digit each time. Answers have three or four digits. An estimate first helps catch slips: 438 is about 400, and 400 × 7 is 2,800, so the answer should be a bit more than that.
