These multiplication strategy worksheets are a great addition to your math curriculum. They provide explanations and examples of each strategy - area model, distributive property, partial products, and algorithm - so students clearly know how to use each one. When I taught these strategies to my 4th grade students, I introduced each one separately so students could get ample practice with each method. Then, I modeled how to solve them simultaneously to show my students exactly how interchangeable all the strategies truly are. This gave my 4th graders a deeper level of understanding about how to solve multiplication problems successfully.
