This morning we jumped backwards to review multiplication. We learned how to multiply digits by 1 digits with regrouping. We didn't use the standard algorithm that you are probably accustomed to however. It relies heavily on children's knowledge of place value. That's why I like it! :o)
For example, when multiplying 16 x 8:
First, multiply 10 x 8. Write the product under the multiplication problem.
16
x 8
80
Next multiply 6 x 8. Write that product under the first product.
16
x 8
80
48
Add the two products together.
16
x 8
80
48
128
Sorry, I can't figure out how to do underline on this. Hope it's not too confusing... :o)
