We have started Unit 9 which has four main areas of focus:
* To multiply and divide with multiples of 10, 100 and 1,000
* To use mental math to multiply
* To share money, and
* To find the products of 2-digit numbers
The students will be working with two strategies to solve multiplication problems with 2-digit numbers. The strategies are known as partial products algorithm and the lattice method. These methods may appear confusing at first but the students will achieve a level of success with each of them. They will be able to choose to work with the method they are more comfortable with after exposure to both. I need your help in getting your child to understand both of these strategies. As such I am reposting the link to EDM to help you help your child with questions on these strategies. To help with computation:
