Box Method Multiplication: 2-Digit Challenges

This video tutorial by Mr. J explains the box method for multiplying larger numbers. The method is similar to the traditional standard algorithm but offers a different setup to enhance understanding. The video includes two examples: multiplying 52 by 23 and 85 by 49, demonstrating the step-by-step process of drawing boxes, expanding factors, multiplying, and adding partial products to find the final answer.

What is the first step in using the box method for multiplication?

• Expanding the factors

• Drawing and splitting the box

• Adding the partial products

• Multiplying the expanded factors

What does the value of '5' represent when multiplying 52 by 23 using the box method?

• 5,000

• 500

• 50

• 5

How do you find the value of 20 times 50 in the box method?

• Multiply and add two zeros

• Multiply and add one zero

• Multiply without adding zeros

• Divide and add two zeros

What are the partial products when adding to find the final answer in the box method?

• The final answer

• The original factors

• The expanded factors

• The results of each box's multiplication

What is the final answer when multiplying 85 by 49 using the box method?

• 4,150

• 4,195

• 4,100

• 4,165
