Teacher Resources
Teaching Notes

Bridge area model to standard algorithm. Emphasize place value understanding for the shifted tens row.

Vocabulary
Partial Product: A product from multiplying part of a factor.
Algorithm: A step-by-step procedure.
Common Mistakes
  • forgetting the shift
  • adding partials incorrectly
  • Forgetting to shift second partial product.
  • Incorrect carrying between steps.
  • Misaligning digits in addition.
  • Basic multiplication fact errors.
Differentiation
SupportUse grid paper. Provide multiplication chart. Break into smaller steps.
ChallengeEstimate products first. Create own multi-digit problems.
Discussion Questions
  • Why do we shift the second partial product?
  • How does the area model connect to this algorithm?
  • What does each partial product represent?
  • How does carrying affect the final product?
Extension Activities
  • Use area models to visualize.
  • Multiply larger 2-digit numbers.
  • Create word problems.
Parent Tip

Ask your child to explain the purpose of the zero in the second step.
