What’s Included?
Students will love practicing 3 digit by 2 digit multiplication across four interactive games. Each game includes 11 problems, for a total of 44 questions to keep learning active and engaging:
-
Activity: 1: Algorithm
Solve the equation by using the boxes. Students can either type in the boxes or drag the numbers over to show their work with the algorithm. On paper, there is plenty of space and scaffolding provided to guide students.
-
Activity 2: Area Model
Solve each multiplication equation. Fill in all boxes. Students first fill in the area model on the left side. Then, they add up their final answer on the right.
-
Activity 3: Check the Answer
Solve each equation. Decide if the answer is correct or incorrect. Students look at each answer and decide if it was solved incorrectly. The incorrect answers are all “silly” mistakes that students may not catch if they don’t solve correctly.
-
Activity 4: Find the Mistake
Students find the mistake and fix it. Then add to find the answer. Students look at each multiplication equation that was solved using the area model. Then, they decide which square of the area model is WRONG. They fix that answer and then add up their smaller answers to find the final answer.
