Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Fluently Multiply Multi-Digit Whole Numbers. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.

Main Concepts

The Standard Algorithm can multiply with partial products left to right or right to left. It also can be applied right to left with regrouping.

The Standard assesses accuracy of application of the algorithm.

Use the standard algorithm to multiply up to four digits by a one-digit number.

Understand that algorithms for multiplication and division are abbreviations for reasoning about quantities.

Multiplication of two multi-digit whole numbers is reduced to a collection of single-digit computations (in order to multiply 378 × 6, one decomposes 378 to 3 hundreds, 7 tens, and 8 ones. Then, one multiplies 3 × 6, 7 × 6, and 8 × 6).
