lessonfieldWhat they’re learning
Your child is developing multiplication and division strategies using known facts, place value, arrays, area models, and relationships between operations.
Explain it to my child
Harder multiplication can be broken into friendlier pieces. For 6 × 23, think 6 × 20 plus 6 × 3.
Try it together
Use graph paper or draw rectangles to model multiplication. Build 7 × 24 as a 7-by-20 rectangle plus a 7-by-4 rectangle. Add the partial products.
Practice
- 6 × 34 = ?
- 84 ÷ 7 = ?
- 9 × 25 = ?
- 96 ÷ 8 = ?
- Explain how 4 × 37 can be broken apart.
Check understanding
- Can your child break multiplication apart by place value?
