Expanded Form Multiplication Models

Today in class we learned how to multiply 2 digit by 2 digit numbers. We aren't quite ready for the standard algorithm so we used a model! Below I have included a picture that will hopefully walk you through using this model. Thanks for your support!

The expanded form model basically breaks the multiplication problem into 4 simpler, smaller problems. You then take each of those products and add them together to get the answer! Let me know if you have any other questions!

Costa Rica!!

So I hope you are all having a great week! We made it to the Arenal Volcano. I am going to post a picture and I want you to see if you can guess what kind of cloud is at the top. We read about it in the cloud book! I will keep trying to post pictures as I see some fun things! I miss you guys and Laua I promise we are staying safe!
