How is this different from the multi-digit multiplication page?

That page mixes four digit shapes on one sheet. This one is 3-digit by 1-digit only, for a child working on exactly that step.

Are there problems with a zero in the middle?

Yes, on purpose. A zero digit is where the carry chain most often breaks.

How to teach this

Same steps as two-digit by one-digit, one more time. The new trap is a zero in the middle: 7 × 0 is 0, and the carry still has to be added. Estimate first (236 × 4 is about 240 × 4 = 960) so a dropped carry shows up as an answer that is off by a hundred.

Watch for: Kids skip the zero in 305 and multiply 35 × 7. The zero holds a place; 7 × 0 is 0, then add the carry. Kids add the carry before multiplying the next digit. Multiply first, then add.
