Mastering Partial Product Strategy for Multiplication

The video tutorial explains how to multiply a two-digit number by a one-digit number using the partial product strategy. It begins by aligning numbers vertically, similar to the traditional algorithm, but without regrouping. The method involves writing out the values of tens and ones separately, calculating their products, and then summing these partial products to get the final result. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the connection between this method and the area model, encouraging students to practice without using geometric shapes.

What is the first step in the partial product strategy for multiplying a two-digit number by a one-digit number?

• Regrouping the numbers

• Lining the numbers up vertically

• Adding the numbers together

• Drawing a rectangle

How does the partial product strategy differ from the standard algorithm?

• It involves regrouping numbers

• It does not involve regrouping any numbers

• It only works for single-digit numbers

• It uses a rectangle or square

In the partial product strategy, what does the number 5 in the tens place represent?

• 5

• 500

• 50

• 5,000

What is the product of 50 times 6 in the partial product strategy?

• 30

• 48

• 348

• 300

What is the product of 8 times 6 in the partial product strategy?

• 348

What is the final product of 58 times 6 using the partial product strategy?

• 358

• 348

• 48

• 300

What is the purpose of practicing with the area model before using the partial product strategy?

• To practice addition

• To learn how to draw rectangles

• To visualize the multiplication process
