What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students multiply using place value, regrouping, and two partial products. They align each partial product correctly, add them, and work with growing accuracy and speed.

What Mastery Looks Like

Students correctly align digits, regroup, record both partial products, and add them. They solve several problems accurately without prompts and check whether answers are reasonable.

Common Misconceptions

Students may place the tens partial product in the ones column or forget the placeholder zero. They may also lose regrouped digits or multiply regrouped digits instead of adding them.

How to Assess It

Exit ticket: Compute 347 × 26 using the standard algorithm, show both partial products, and use an estimate to check reasonableness.

Ways to Teach It

  1. Build 243 × 16 with place-value disks, record each regrouping, then connect the model to the two rows in the written algorithm.

  2. Write an explanation of why the second partial product in 326 × 24 begins in the tens place.

  3. Draw five digit cards, form a three-digit and two-digit factor, solve, then earn a point if a partner confirms the work.

  4. Calculate the total cost of 24 classroom chairs priced at $135 each, then compare the exact answer with an estimate.
