Today in math, we are just continuing with our multiplication. The only difference is we are moving forward with standard algorithm and we are also estimating our product.
For instance, if our problem is 234 x 769, we would first estimate.
We would round 234 to 200 and 769 to 800. So we are now multiplying 200 x 800. We know our product will be around 160,000.
Now, we will solve 234 x 769 with the standard algorithm. Could we still use the area model? YES! Can we check our answer with a calculator? YES!
However, I will tell you, if I get back a page of homework with just answers and no work... They will have to redo it. This tells me they used a calculator. If they do not do the work out on homework, they are likely not going to do well on the assessments.
Spelling test on Friday! The words are in spellingcity.com
Thanks!
