Multi-Digit Multiplication

Lesson 12

Math

Unit 2

4th Grade

Lesson 12 of 18

Objective


Multiply two-digit multiples of 10 by two-digit numbers.

Common Core Standards


Core Standards

  • 4.NBT.B.5 — Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

Foundational Standards

  • 3.NBT.A.3
  • 4.NBT.A.1
  • 4.NBT.B.4
  • 3.OA.B.5
  • 3.OA.C.7

Criteria for Success


  1. Multiply multiples of 10 by two-digit numbers by decomposing the multiply of 10 and using the associative property (e.g., 80 × 34 = 8 × 10 × 34 = 272 × 10). (Note that students need not know the term “associative property.”)
  2. Multiply multiples of 10 by two-digit numbers by decomposing the two-digit number and using the distributive property (e.g., 80 × 34 = (80 × 30) + (80 × 4) = 2,400 + 320 = 2,720). (Note that students need not know the term “distributive property.”)

Discussion of Problem Set

  • How is #1a of the Problem Set less complex than the others?
  • How could you have used #3b to solve #4b? 
  • How could you have used #3c to solve #4c?
  • Can you explain why #4c and #4d have the same product?
  • When we record partial products, do we have to start with the one with the smallest place value? Will we get a different result if we start with the tens?
  • When one of the factors has a 0 in the ones place, why is there always a 0 in the ones place of the solution?
