A LITTLE PRACTICE. A NEW DISCOVERY.
Multiplication lessons and practice
Multiplication describes equal groups and helps calculate repeated quantities. Start by showing groups with objects or arrays, then connect the model to multiplication facts. When factors become larger, place value helps you split the calculation into smaller products.
Choose a starting point
Choose equal groups if multiplication is new. Move to multiplication facts when the learner can explain what both factors mean. For two-digit multiplication, revisit facts and place value before adding partial products.
Try a hands-on activity
Arrange twelve objects in different rectangular arrays. Write a multiplication expression for each arrangement, then explain why the total stays the same.
A mistake to watch for
A product is not the sum of the factors. When using partial products, every part of one factor must multiply every part of the other.
