Multiplication Algorithm

This week  for maths we are working on doing multiplication algorithm in our books , this is Group 3 DLO .

Example ,Think of a 3-digit multiplication algorithm as a “power up” for your math skills. Instead of adding a number hundreds of times, you break the big number into three smaller jobs: the ones, the tens, and the hundreds. You start with the single number at the bottom and let it “visit” each digit on top, starting from the right and moving to the left. If a visit results in a number 10 or higher, you simply “carry” the extra digit over to the next neighbor’s head, like a little hat. You multiply the next set of numbers first, then add that “hat” to the total before moving on. Once the bottom number has visited everyone on the top floor, you have your final, giant answer.

I enjoyed how we worked together if one person didn’t know the answer and that we would help each other to understand what we are doing and how to understand multiplication algorithm .
