Throughout Unit 4, we have learned FOUR different strategies to multiply multi-digit numbers:
- Partitioning Rectangles
- Partial Products
- Traditional Algorithm
- Lattice Method
We will be reviewing and studying for a test next week. Unless it says to use a specific strategy on the test, I have been telling the kids to use WHATEVER STRATEGY IS MOST SUCCESSFUL for them! Pleas don't force them into using the traditional algorithm ["old school math"....HA!!] unless they are 100% [well...for the most part] successful with that strategy.
