Multiplicative Strategies

Repeated Addition:

Use repeated addition to solve these sums

3 X 4

5 X 5

2 X 9

10 X 3

3 X 7

Arrays:

Draw arrays for these sums

2 X 6

3 X 3

10 X 2

4 X 5

5 X 6

Distributive Property: Multiplication distributes over addition and subtraction (e.g., 6x 3) + 6x4)), this property can be used to support mental strategies (e.g., for 6 sevens 9350 and 1 more 7 94200.)

Renaming: 7 eights can be thought of as 8 eights less 1 group of 8 or 5 eights and 2 more eights).

Use this to solve 5 X 4
