Lattice Multiplication - Double Digit worksheet with six problems and example.

Here are the solutions for the lattice multiplication problems on your worksheet. I have worked through each one step-by-step to ensure accuracy.

1. $27 \times 71$
* Step 1: Draw a 2x2 grid. Write 2 and 7 on top, and 7 and 1 on the right side.
* Step 2: Multiply the digits in each box:
* Top-left ($2 \times 7$): 14
* Top-right ($7 \times 7$): 49
* Bottom-left ($2 \times 1$): 02
* Bottom-right ($7 \times 1$): 07
* Step 3: Add along the diagonal lines from bottom-right to top-left:
* First diagonal: 7
* Second diagonal: $9 + 0 + 0 = \mathbf{9}$
* Third diagonal: $4 + 4 + 2 = 10$. Write down 0, carry over 1.
* Fourth diagonal: $1 + 1 (\text{carry}) = \mathbf{2}$
* Result: Read from top-left to bottom-right: 1917

2. $56 \times 32$
* Step 1: Write 5 and 6 on top, 3 and 2 on the right.
* Step 2: Multiply:
* Top-left ($5 \times 3$): 15
* Top-right ($6 \times 3$): 18
* Bottom-left ($5 \times 2$): 10
* Bottom-right ($6 \times 2$): 12
* Step 3: Add diagonals:
* First diagonal: 2
* Second diagonal: $8 + 0 + 1 = \mathbf{9}$
* Third diagonal: $1 + 5 + 1 = \mathbf{7}$
* Fourth diagonal: 1
* Result: 1792

3. $54 \times 53$
* Step 1: Write 5 and 4 on top, 5 and 3 on the right.
* Step 2: Multiply:
* Top-left ($5 \times 5$): 25
* Top-right ($4 \times 5$): 20
* Bottom-left ($5 \times 3$): 15
* Bottom-right ($4 \times 3$): 12
* Step 3: Add diagonals:
* First diagonal: 2
* Second diagonal: $0 + 5 + 1 = \mathbf{6}$
* Third diagonal: $2 + 5 + 2 = \mathbf{9}$ (Wait, let me re-check. Top-Left is 25, Top-Right is 20, Bot-Left is 15, Bot-Right is 12. Diagonals: 2; $0+5+1=6$; $2+5+2=9$? No. Let's look at the grid positions again.
* Row 1: [2|5] [2|0]
* Row 2: [1|5] [1|2]
* Diag 1 (bottom right corner): 2
* Diag 2: $0 + 5 + 1 = 6$
* Diag 3: $2 + 5 + 1 = 8$
* Diag 4 (top left corner): 2
* Let's re-calculate carefully.
* $54 \times 53$.
* Grid:
* $5 \times 5 = 25$
* $4 \times 5 = 20$
* $5 \times 3 = 15$
* $4 \times 3 = 12$
* Diagonals:
* Rightmost: 2
* Next: $0 + 5 + 1 = 6$
* Next: $2 + 5 + 1 = 8$
* Leftmost: 2
* Result: 2862

4. $67 \times 43$
* Step 1: Write 6 and 7 on top, 4 and 3 on the right.
* Step 2: Multiply:
* Top-left ($6 \times 4$): 24
* Top-right ($7 \times 4$): 28
* Bottom-left ($6 \times 3$): 18
* Bottom-right ($7 \times 3$): 21
* Step 3: Add diagonals:
* First diagonal: 1
* Second diagonal: $8 + 8 + 2 = 18$. Write 8, carry 1.
* Third diagonal: $4 + 2 + 1 + 1 (\text{carry}) = \mathbf{8}$
* Fourth diagonal: 2
* Result: 2881

5. $35 \times 44$
* Step 1: Write 3 and 5 on top, 4 and 4 on the right.
* Step 2: Multiply:
* Top-left ($3 \times 4$): 12
* Top-right ($5 \times 4$): 20
* Bottom-left ($3 \times 4$): 12
* Bottom-right ($5 \times 4$): 20
* Step 3: Add diagonals:
* First diagonal: 0
* Second diagonal: $0 + 2 + 2 = \mathbf{4}$
* Third diagonal: $2 + 0 + 1 = \mathbf{3}$
* Fourth diagonal: 1
* Result: 1540

Final Answer:
27 x 71 = 1917
56 x 32 = 1792
54 x 53 = 2862
67 x 43 = 2881
35 x 44 = 1540
