The ideas in this lesson are taken from Multiplication Division 2 ebook. Only a few examples of each problem type are shown; you should make more problems of each kind for the student. This lesson explains an alternative algorithm for multiplying a two- or three-digit number in columns that can be easier for some children to grasp than the common one.

You can also do 5 × 34 vertically
(in columns), using distributive property.

2. Write a mathematical sentence(s) for the problems. Multiply using the principle above (distributive property).
| a) All seven houses on the Cat Lane have seven cats living in
them. How many legs do those cats have total?
|
| d) Jane bought seven cards and seven chocolate boxes for her
seven friends. The cards cost total $14, and the boxes cost total
$35. How much was her total bill? How much did one card cost? One chocolate box?
|
If you have a 3-digit number, the process is similar:
3 × 184

P.S. ....
| Check out these short video clips from my favorite band - Rockabilly.US. They play oldies, Elvis, country, and top hits of the 50s and 60s. It's a show with large band, costumes, choreography, little skits, "Kid Kritters", 6 dancing/singing girls, junior dancer troupe, etc. | |
|
"Be My Baby" originally by the Ronettes |
Impossible Dream (Elvis song) |
| Most importantly, the band wants to use the uplifting and energetic music to bring some fun, happiness and encouragement into people's lives. They're doing it selflessly to help others, and don't get paid for any of it themselves. And I admire that! | |
