Lesson 6
Standard Algorithm: Multi-digit Numbers with Composing
Lesson Purpose
The purpose of this lesson is for students to understand and apply the standard algorithm for multiplication when multiplying two- and three-digit numbers with composition of new units.
Lesson Narrative
In previous lessons, students learned to use the standard algorithm for multiplication with up to five-digit numbers and one-digit numbers when a new unit is composed. They also multiplied three-digit and two-digit numbers without composing a new unit. In this lesson, students combine these two skills. They use the standard algorithm for multiplication of a three-digit and a two-digit number and record the composition of new units.

Teacher Reflection Questions
As students worked in their small groups today, whose ideas were heard, valued, and accepted? How can you adjust the group structure tomorrow to ensure each student’s ideas are a part of the collective learning?
