Understanding the Multiplication Standard Algorithm

What is a key characteristic of the standard algorithm for multiplication?

• It is the slowest method.

• It is the most intuitive method.

• It is a shortcut for quick calculations.

• It is the only method to solve multiplication problems.

In the standard algorithm, what is the first step when multiplying 37 by 3?

• Multiply the ones place first.

• Subtract the smaller number from the larger one.

• Add the digits together.

• Multiply the tens place first.

When multiplying 84 by 5 using the standard algorithm, what do you do after multiplying the ones place?

• Multiply the tens place and add any carried over value.

• Divide the result by 2.

• Subtract the carried over value.

• Multiply the result by 10.

What should you do if you encounter difficulties while applying the standard algorithm?

• Use a calculator to find the answer.

• Skip the problem and move on.

• Rewind the video and review the steps.

• Ask someone else to solve it for you.

Why is it beneficial to learn multiple methods for solving multiplication problems?

• To avoid using the standard algorithm.

• To understand the standard algorithm better.

• To make calculations more complicated.

• To confuse yourself with different techniques.
