5.4 Wrapping Up Multiplication and Division with Multi-Digit Numbers

Unit Goals

  • Students use the standard algorithm to multiply multi-digit whole numbers. They divide whole numbers up to four-digits by two-digits divisors using strategies based on place value and properties of operations.

Section A Goals

  • Multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.

Section B Goals

  • Divide multi-digit whole numbers using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and the relationship between multiplication and division.

Section C Goals

  • Multiply and divide to solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area and volume.
