In 4th grade students multiply up to a 4-digit number by a 1-digit number and a 2-digit number by a 2-digit number. The focus is on building a deep conceptual understanding by using strategies that are based on place value and properties of operations. Below are several videos that explain some of these strategies.
Using place value blocks to multiply
Using an area model to multiply 3x12, 7x35, 9x57
Using the distributive property to multiply 16x3, 47x5, 38x6, 512x4
Using partial products to multiply 6x27, 7x498, 5x1,236
Using an area model to multiply 16x27
Using an area model to multiply 78x65
Using Partial Products to Multiply 63x25
