a) 8 × 4 = ___________
b) 7 × 6 = ___________
c) 9 × 8 = ___________

🎯 Part 2: Factors of Ten Strategy

2. Use factors of ten to make these multiplications easier. Show your working.

Example: 25 × 4 = 25 × (10 ÷ 2.5) = (25 × 10) ÷ 2.5 = 100

Or: 25 × 4 = (20 + 5) × 4 = (20 × 4) + (5 × 4) = 80 + 20 = 100

a) 15 × 4 = ___________
b) 35 × 2 = ___________
c) 45 × 2 = ___________

✂️ Part 3: Partitioning Strategy

3. Break apart these numbers to make multiplication easier. Show your working.

Example: 23 × 4 = (20 + 3) × 4 = (20 × 4) + (3 × 4) = 80 + 12 = 92

a) 34 × 3 = ___________
b) 26 × 5 = ___________
c) 48 × 3 = ___________
