Multiplication, division, and more complex problem-solving strategies for third grade students.
Sometimes you'll need to multiply bigger numbers, like two-digit by one-digit.
Try breaking numbers apart to make it easier (using place value).
Use paper, grids, or number lines if the numbers feel big!
\(23 \times 4 = (20 \times 4) + (3 \times 4) = 80 + 12 = 92\)
\(14 \times 3 = (10 \times 3) + (4 \times 3) = 30 + 12 = 42\)
\(27 \times 2 = (20 \times 2) + (7 \times 2) = 40 + 14 = 54\)
Multiply larger numbers by breaking them into parts and adding the results.
