Number & Operations in Base Ten – 4th Grade
Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.
CCSS.Math.Content.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.
Teacher Notes
The teacher needs to understand how place value helps students find the product in multi-digit multiplication problem. It is important to use multi-digit multiplication problems to reenforce place value. Example: "Four tens times three tens is twelve tens. Regroup and put one in the hundreds and two in the tens."
Students who develop flexibility in breaking numbers apart have a better understanding of the importance of place value and the distributive property in multi-digit multiplication.
