Master the partition method for long multiplication! Learn to break down two-digit numbers into tens and ones, perform multi-digit multiplication, and combine partial products to solve real-world problems effectively.
By the end of this unit, students will be able to:
understand and apply the partition method for long multiplication of two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers;
break down a multiplication problem into partial products by partitioning the numbers into tens and ones;
perform multi-digit multiplication using the partition method and combine partial products to find the final answer;
apply the partition method to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
National Curriculum Objectives
Year 3 Number: Multiplication and Division
Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4 and 8 multiplication tables.
Write and calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division using the multiplication tables that they know, including for two-digit numbers times one-digit numbers, using mental and progressing to formal written methods.
Solve problems, including missing number problems, involving multiplication and division, including positive integer scaling problems and correspondence problems in which n objects are connected to m objects.
