Math Strategies: Partial Products Method of Multiplication

Students are learning math differently than how their parents learned and sometimes that is challenging for parents to help their students learn math strategies. This class is focused on reviewing one of those strategies, the Partial Products Method of Multiplication! While similar to the traditional algorithm approach, this method is rooted in number sense.  

This one-time class is perfect for a wide range of learners, from those who want to learn a new way to multiply to those who have been introduced to the method and want more practice. We will practice multiplying 1-digit by 2-digit and 2-digit by 2-digit numbers. If students are ready for a challenge, we might incorporate 2-digit by 3-digit multiplication. This math strategy will be taught live and modeled by the teacher on a dry erase board. Throughout there will be opportunities for guided practice then independent practice and of course time to interact with the teacher and peers. Questions and discussion are welcome! Additional math concepts that will be incorporated include place value, factor and product vocabulary, fact fluency, and adding multi-digit numbers. Please sign up for this class now to review the Partial Products Method of Multiplication and have some fun with math!

*Note: Students should have an understanding of adding 3-digit numbers and know their multiplication facts up to 10x10 prior to this class.
