​Breaking Apart Method

• ​In this method, the goal is to break our numbers into smaller pieces.

• ​The pieces we use are place values.

  • ​Break apart the ones place values

  • ​Break apart the tens place values

  • ​Break apart the hundreds place values

• ​Example:

  • ​254

    • ​200

    • ​50

    • ​4

​Two Factor Method

• ​In this method, we will break our numbers into to pieces, as we are working with two digit numbers.

​Two Factor Method

• ​After breaking apart the numbers, we make an array and solve the multiplication problem step by step.

• ​Once done, we add up our results.

​One Factor Method

• ​In this method, we only break one of our numbers into its place values.

• ​After this step, we just add our answers together.
