Lesson 10

Using Algorithms with Partial Products: 2 Two-digit Numbers

Lesson Purpose

The purpose of this lesson is for students to use partial products in an algorithm to multiply 2 two-digit numbers.

Lesson Narrative

In the previous lesson, students learned to record the partial products from multiplying vertically, using an algorithm. They made connections between the new notation to the structure of the rectangular diagram on which they used earlier. In this lesson, students apply that work to 2 two-digit factors.
