I think it’s to a student’s advantage to know and be able to use both the traditional algorithm of multiplication plus the partial products method of multiplication. Having this knowledge will increase their understanding and be effective in improving their efficiency while multiplying.

This product gives the students many opportunities to try both methods.

The digits in the numbers to multiply together in this resource (Set 2) are limited to 0,1,2,3,4, 5, 6. The reason for this :

*I wanted to encourage students to focus more on the methods rather than the multiplication facts themselves. Therefore, I created an incremental approach, starting with the easiest combinations of numbers to multiply together (Set 1: 0-4) and

gradually increasing the value of the numbers to multiply together (Set 2: 0-6), (Set 3: 0-9 coming soon).

My intention was that teachers would use each set in order, starting with Set 1, going on with Set 2, and ending with Set 3. However, use these at your own discretion…all or some…depending on your student’s needs for learning and differentiation.
