What kids do

“Multiply by the ones, then by the tens (start with a 0). Add the two rows.”

Teacher tip

Estimate first: 312 × 24 is about 300 × 20. Kids can then catch a misplaced digit.

How to use it

  • Keep a multiplication chart available at first and take it away as kids get faster.
  • Start with two minutes of skip counting out loud for the tables on the sheet.
  • Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.

Watch for

Lost place value in the second partial product. Remind kids to write the zero first.

Talk about it

  • How can 5 × 6 help you with 6 × 6?
  • Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?

Take it further

Look for multiplication in the room: windows in rows, egg cartons, desk groups.
