Connecting Multiplication to Place Value

In this video, Steve introduces the multiplication course and reviews the identity property of multiplication. He then explores the concept of multiples of 10, providing six examples to illustrate how multiplication connects to place value. The video emphasizes understanding multiplication beyond memorization by using mathematical ideas. Finally, Steve previews the commutative property of multiplication, which will be covered in the next video.
