Master multiplication with larger numbers! Learn multiple strategies including area models, partial products, and the standard algorithm.
Multiply numbers like 2,345 x 7 using place value
Master problems like 34 x 56 with multiple methods
Visual method connecting multiplication to area
Efficient method for any multiplication problem
When multiplying 3,245 x 6, think: (3,000 x 6) + (200 x 6) + (40 x 6) + (5 x 6). Each part uses basic facts!
Break numbers apart and arrange in a rectangle. For 23 x 45: make a 4-part rectangle showing 20x40, 20x5, 3x40, 3x5.
Multiply each part separately, then add. Keeps track of place value and shows WHY the standard algorithm works.
The traditional method with regrouping. Works efficiently but should be connected to understanding, not just memorized steps.
