This week in math class, we explored the concept of multiplying 2 digit numbers by 2 digit numbers using the area model. In this method we expand both factors. We then multiply each of the four parts to find "partial products". Finally, we add those partial products together to find our end product. Students are getting better and better at multiplying!! Keep up the great work - and remember to log into Reflex everyday to get faster and more fluent with your math facts!

Next week, we will look at the distributive property and division. We will learn how to use partial quotients to find answers to division problems.
