multiplication strategies
skip counting
Students skip count or add to come to the total.
friendly numbers
Students change one of the factors to make it an easier multiplication problem.
partial products
Students break apart factors in addends allowing them to solve smaller problems.
doubling & halving
Students double one factor while halving the other factor.
breaking factors
Students break factors into smaller factors to create easier problems.
expanded algorithm
Similar to partial products as students move to a more efficient way of writing their thinking.
standard algorithm
Students work from right to left multiplying each part of each factor.
