Double Digit Multiplication- traditional and Partial Products

It’s to a student’s advantage to know how to multiply using the traditional algorithm and the partial products method. The traditional way is great for expediency, the partial products way is great for understanding. This product will give students plenty of opportunities to learn both ways with clear demonstrations (which also could be used for anchor charts), scaffolded activities such as reminder “carrying boxes” and partly done examples with fill-in blanks, and lots of examples for student practice. This is “Set 1”. Set 1 has multiplication with numbers having only these digits: 0,1,2,3,4. The reason for this is (assuming that a purchaser would buy this first before other sets) that teachers will probably use the resource as an introduction to double digit multiplication/ 2 methods and would want the focus to be on the procedures rather than the math facts themselves. Having the easiest numbers to multiply allows the students’ attention to be harnessed in this way.
