Our first unit in math is Multiplication. By the end of this section, students will be expected to:
Students can use the textbook and workbook for extra practice at home. Most of the multiplication properties can be found in section 3-1. Distributive property can be found in section 3-5. Multiplication using the standard algorithm can be found in sections 3-7 and 3-8.
These skills are the foundation of fifth grade math. It is critical that students know the basic multiplication facts through the 12s. Division is the next unit, which will use these same skills.
Students are allowed to use a variety of strategies to solve these problems. Below are some of the most common strategies. We use the Traditional (Standard) Algorithm, Partial Products, and Splitting the most, but the others are still great for mental math strategies and for general practice with numbers.
- Multiply a one-digit number by a three-digit number (6 x 873)
- Multiply a two-digit number by a three digit number (34 x 96)
- Multiply any number by a multiple of 10 or 100 (5 x 300 or 40 x 60)
- Evaluate equations involving parentheses or brackets using the properties of multiplication. (Zero, Identity, Associative, Commutative, Distributive)
