Section A: Practice Problems Multi-digit Multiplication Using the Standard Algorithm

Section Summary

Details

In this unit we found products of a three-digit number and a two-digit number. We first

represented the products with diagrams that help us break down the product by place value.

This diagram breaks up the product  by place value. If we find and add up all of the partial products, we will get the product of .

Diagram, rectangle partitioned vertically and horizontally into 6 rectangles.

Then we learned a new algorithm to multiply numbers, the standard algorithm for multiplication.

We can see the partial products are organized in a different way. 824 represents the partial product for 2 \times 412 and 12,360 represents the partial product for 30 \times 412.

multiply. four hundred twelve times 32.

We noticed that sometimes we need to compose a new unit when we use the standard algorithm, and we represent that unit with notation. Sometimes, we may have to compose more than one new unit.

The 1 above the 1 in 216 represents the ten from the product and the 2 represents 2 hundreds from the product .

multiply. two hundred sixteen times 43.

Problem 15 (Exploration)

Jada remembers that the partial products algorithm can go from left to right or from right to left. She wonders if the standard algorithm can also go in either direction.

  1. Calculate  using partial products right to left and left to right.

  2. Calculate with the standard algorithm. What happens if you try to make the calculation from left to right?
