Split Strategy Multiplication

What is the first step to the following equation when using the split strategy?
3 x 24 =

• Work it out 3 x 24 = 56
• Split it up (3 x 20) + (3 x 4)
• Split it up (3 x 21) + (3 x 4)
• Split it up (3 x 2) + (3 x 4)

What is the second step to the following equation when using the split strategy?
3 x 24 = (3 x 20) + (3 x 4) =

• Work it out = 56
• Work out each bracket (53) + (8)
• Work out each bracket (60) + (12)
• Work out each (60) + (10)

What is the third step step to the following equation when using the split strategy?
1. 3 x 24 =
2. (3 x 20) + (3 x 4) =
3. (60) + (12) =

• Adding it all together = 72
• Adding it all together = 80
• Adding it all together = 47
• Adding it all together = 53

What is the first step when using the split strategy for the following equation:
24 x 56

• (24 x 5) + (24 x 6)
• (24 x 50) + (24 x 6)
• (20 x 50) + (4 x 50) + (20 x 6) + (20 x 6) 

What is the second step when using the split strategy for the following equation:
1. 24 x 56
2. (24 x 50) + (24 x 6)

• (20 x 50) + (4 x 50) +(20 x 6) + (4 x 6) =                                          
• (106) + (98) =
• (2 x 50) + (4 x 5) +(20 x 6) + (4 x 6) =                                          
• (2 x 50) + (4 x 5) +(10 x 6) + (4 x 6) =                                          

What is the fourth step when using the split strategy for the following equation:
1. 24 x 56
2. (24 x 50) + (24 x 6)
3. (20x50) + (4x50) +(20x6) + (4x6) =    
4. ??                                      

• (100) + (20) + (80) + (24)
• (1000) + (200) + (120) + (24)
• (100) + (200) + (12) + (24)
• (1000) + (220) + (120) + (24)

What is the fifth step when using the split strategy for the following equation:
1. 24 x 56
2. (24 x 50) + (24 x 6)
3. (20x50) + (4x50) +(20x6) + (4x6) =    
4. (1000) + (200) + (120) + (24) =

Why is the split strategy good for working out multiplication?

• It simplifies it into smaller easy to work out parts
• It splits it up into lots of categories 
• It makes multiplication more complex than it needs to be
• It makes multiplication seem longer and silly

Answer the following question:
Step 1. 24 x 44
Step 2. (24 x 40) + (24 x 4)
Step 3.
(20x40) + (4x40) + (20x4) + (4x4) =

• 968
• 1056
• 1480
• 1481

Step 1 - 56 x 32 =
Step 2 - (56 x 30) + (56 x 2) =
Step 3 -
(50x30) + (6x30) + (50x2) + (6x2)
