A fourth method of multiplying multi-digit numbers

6T has been working on multiplying multi-digits for the past four math classes. We have tried to use traditional multiplication methods, a place value/pull it apart method, as well as an array method. Here is a fourth method that is just as effective as those already taught in class, in case any student is struggling using the ones we have already explored. The Grade 6 curriculum expectation is to be able to multiply four digit by two digit whole numbers.

Math: we worked more on multiplying today. Students are highly encouraged to practise their multiplication tables AND four digit by two digit multiplication at home this weekend. It has been suggested that they make up their own questions - complete it without a calculator, then check their answer with a calculator. If there are errors, identify where they are and move backwards.
Number Sense Unit #2 test likely Wednesday of this week.

Literacy: Today we worked on our figurative language poems and our Sell This Book project.

Family Life: We did a unit assessment task today to finish up Theme #1. Next week we will be starting our prayer table projects.

Phys. Ed.: We practised some soccer skills outside (in the beautiful weather) guided by our student teacher Ms. Wade.

Social Studies: We talked about what a global issue issue might be. Students contributed what they know about Canadian imports and exports, global interactions, as well as political, social, economic and environmental factors that affect global issues.
