Core Concepts

Deepen three-digit × one-digit — mental chains, zeros, inequalities, and stories.

Mental Links

Connect $5 \times 5$, $50 \times 5$, $500 \times 5$ and similar ladders for $2 \times 5$, $3 \times 7$, $9 \times 4$.

Counting Zeros

  • How many zeros at the end of $4 \times 5 \times 5$? Of $125 \times 8 \times 10$?
  • How many tens in $250 \times 4$?

Inequalities & Bounds

Find the greatest digit so an inequality stays true, e.g. $\square 28 \times 4 < 1000$.

Applications

Promotion / stock stories; multi-step “sold” problems from the lesson pages.

Key Answers

Key answers
  1. Mental: $25,250,2500$; $10,100,1000$; $21,210,2100$; $36,360,3600$
  2. $360×4=1440$ (also $36$ tens $×4=144$ tens)
  3. Column: $130×6=780$; $450×9=4050$; $2×370=740$; $8×250=2000$; $5×680=3400$; $510×7=3570$. Product may be $3$- or $4$-digit.
  4. Fill brackets: (1) $2$; $4$   (2) $100$ tens; $125$ eights   (3) $2$
  5. Applications: (1) $1025$   (2) $3400$ cm
  6. Promotion: $1360$ sets
  7. Multiple choice: B ($100×★=Δ$)
  8. Table: $1200$; $2400$; $2400$; $1200$. When one factor doubles, the product doubles (and related factor–product relationships).
