Description

By the end of this unit, students will be able to:

  1. understand and apply the partition method for long multiplication of two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers;
  2. break down a multiplication problem into partial products by partitioning the numbers into tens and ones;
  3. perform multi-digit multiplication using the partition method and combine partial products to find the final answer;
  4. apply the partition method to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
