This week….
This week in math we
will be learning some multiplication methods for 2-4 digit numbers times one
digit numbers. Here is what we will be doing!
Monday: Lesson 2.6
Expanded Form Models
Here students use a
model very similar to a distributive property model to break a large number
into smaller multiplication problems.
For example: 243 x 6=
1,200 + 240 + 18= 1,458
By
breaking the problem up into expanded form it makes the problem much simpler!
The rest of the week
we will be doing a similar process but will gradually break away from models
and move into the standard algorithm. If
I feel it is confusing I will post again later this week.
