Key concepts students will learn:

  • When multiplying 36 x 27, we can first multiply 36 by 7, then multiply 36 by 20, and finally add the two products together.

  • When multiplying two-digit numbers, it is important to remember place value; for example, in the number 27, the 2 is in the tens place, so it represents 20.

  • The product of 36 x 27 is 972.
