4-Digit by 1-Digit Multiplication Puzzle Worksheet

This is a "4-Digit by 1-Digit Multiplication Maze" puzzle. The goal is to start at the "START" box, solve each multiplication problem, and follow the path through the maze by choosing the correct answer (which connects to the next box) until you reach "FINISH."

🔍 Step-by-Step Solution:

We need to solve each multiplication problem, then follow the path where the answer matches the number on the connecting line.

Let’s go step by step.

---

#### ✔ Start:
7743 × 6

Let’s calculate:
```
7743
× 6
------
46,458
```

So, 7743 × 6 = 46,458

Now look for which path from this box leads to 46,458.

From the diagram:
- From 7743 × 6, two paths go out:
- One labeled 30,972 → not matching.
- One labeled 46,458 → YES! This is correct.

So we go down to the box: 4249 × 9

---

#### ✔ Next: 4249 × 9

Calculate:
```
4249
× 9
------
38,241
```

Check the outgoing paths:
- One says 38,241 → YES!
- Other says 36,861 → no.

So we go to the box: 8117 × 2

---

#### ✔ Next: 8117 × 2

Calculate:
```
8117
× 2
------
16,234
```

Outgoing paths:
- One says 16,234 → YES!
- Other says 16,224 → close but not same.

So go to the box: 1541 × 3

---

#### ✔ Next: 1541 × 3

Calculate:
```
1541
× 3
------
4,623
```

Paths:
- One says 4,623 → YES!
- Other says 3,523 → no.

Go to: 3266 × 4

---

#### ✔ Next: 3266 × 4

Calculate:
```
3266
× 4
------
13,064
```

Paths:
- One says 13,064 → YES!
- Other says 35,307 → no.

Go to: FINISH

✔ We’ve reached FINISH!

🧩 Final Path:

Let’s trace it:

1. START: 7743 × 6 = 46,458 → goes to 4249 × 9
2. 4249 × 9 = 38,241 → goes to 8117 × 2
3. 8117 × 2 = 16,234 → goes to 1541 × 3
4. 1541 × 3 = 4,623 → goes to 3266 × 4
5. 3266 × 4 = 13,064 → goes to FINISH

---

✔ Answer: The correct path is:

> 7743 × 6 → 4249 × 9 → 8117 × 2 → 1541 × 3 → 3266 × 4 → FINISH

All calculations are correct and match the numbers on the connections.

📌 Summary of Calculations:

| Problem | Result |
|----------------|------------|
| 7743 × 6 | 46,458 |
| 4249 × 9 | 38,241 |
| 8117 × 2 | 16,234 |
| 1541 × 3 | 4,623 |
| 3266 × 4 | 13,064 |

✔ All match the path labels.

---

✔ Final Answer:

The correct solution path is:

START → 7743 × 6 → 4249 × 9 → 8117 × 2 → 1541 × 3 → 3266 × 4 → FINISH
