Mini Lesson
Present students with a sum, for example: 34x5. Students are to solve this on mini whiteboards. Ask those who feel confident to explain what strategy they used to work it out.
Break down strategy: Step 1: Break 34 into 30 and 4.
“We multiply 30 by 5, then 4 by 5, and finally add the two answers together.”
Step 2: Multiply 30 × 5 = 150.
Step 3: Multiply 4 × 5 = 20.
Step 4: Add 150 + 20 = 170.
“So, 34 × 5 = 170.”
