Today in math, we are continuing to multiply two and three digit numbers. The goal is for students to be successful using the standard algorithm. However, it is useful for them to know, understand, and use the area model so they can check their work. Like I have mentioned before... It is okay for them to triple check their work with a calculator.
In the area model, we are decomposing (breaking up) the numbers so they are easier to work with.
Make sure that they are remembering the place value of each number (ones, tens, hundreds, etc).
On some of the numbers, I have just included the answer as they are following the same directions.
Thank you!
