Key concepts students will learn:

  • When multiplying a multi-digit number by another multi-digit number, you multiply each digit of the bottom number by each digit of the top number.

  • When multiplying multi-digit numbers, you will have multiple answer lines that need to be added together to get the final answer.

  • When you start a new answer line, you need to add a zero as a placeholder, and the number of zeros depends on the place value of the digit you are multiplying by.
