Lesson 6
Multiply Two-digit Numbers and One-digit Numbers
Lesson Purpose
Lesson Narrative
In the previous lesson, students solved two-digit multiplication problems in a way that made sense to them. They discussed decomposing factors and considered different representations of their strategy. In this lesson, students extend these ideas to find the value of products beyond 100, focusing on representations and strategies based on place value and the properties of operations, which are familiar from grade 3.
Students analyze base-ten diagrams and diagrams that involve rectangles, some of which are partitioned by place value. They explain how the diagrams represent multiplication and make connections between them, deepening their understanding of place value and properties of operations. At the end of the lesson, students consider a rectangular diagram that will be used through the rest of the section.
