Multiply Four By One And Two By Two Digit Number Math Games

6 games

In this series of games, your students will learn to multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. The Multiply Four By One And Two By Two Digit Number learning objective — based on CCSS and state standards — delivers improved student engagement and academic performance in your classroom, as demonstrated by research. This learning objective directly references 4.NBT.B.5 as written in the common core national math standards.

Concepts Covered

Understand that algorithms for multiplication and division are abbreviations for reasoning about quantities. Compute products of one-digit numbers and multiples of 10, 100, and 1000. Solve one-digit multiplication by a power of 10 using place value reasoning. Compute products of one-digit numbers and two-, three-, and four-digit numbers with regrouping. Compute products of one-digit numbers and two-, three-, and four-digit numbers without regrouping. Decompose factors into base-ten units and apply the distributive property. Reduce multiplication computations to single-digit multiplications and products of numbers with multiples of 10, 100, and 1000.

Computing products of two two-digit numbers requires using the distributive property several times when the factors are decomposed into base-ten units. Use diagrams and arrays to develop an understanding of multiplication. Use area models where each part corresponds to one of the terms in the computation.
