Multiplication Math Test

I just wanted to share the strategies we've been learning in class with everyone at home since we have a math test on Monday! The class has done very well with our unit so far and have been showing a good understanding of one, or both, concepts! The students can choose which strategy works best for them. I encouraged students to try both, but eventually pick one that they are strongest at. It's been a mix of both in the classroom - about half and half!

We have learned these two strategies. One I call "zeros" and the "carrying" strategy (similiar to carrying when adding larger numbers). Hopefully this can help parents to help their kids study :)
