I was a substitute for grades K through 12 for a year. Then I tutored grades 1-3 for a year. Now I have been teaching 4th grade for 3 years, 1 year in a charter school and 2 in public schools.
I noticed my 4th graders struggled with 2-digit multiplication. I taught my students the steps having them circle each step in a different color. This helped them really see where each number was places and which numbers to multiply by. After some practice, I take away the colors.
This is a template for multiplying with color. I put these in plastic paper protectors and have my students practice multiplying with a dry erase marker.
