Case: Multiplication Dilemma
Mrs. Starks, is a fourth grade teacher that has been teaching fourth grade for several years. She has one particular student that quite does not understand how to multiply a three-digit number by a one digit number. She also has offered small group and one on one help to this student, but he still does not understand the concept of regrouping when multiplying. What are some ways that Mrs. Starks can get her student to understand multiplying a three-digit number by a one digit number?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mrs. Starks could use place value models to help the student understand three-digit numbers multiplied by one digit numbers. Using these models will help the student get a better understanding of the regrouping and will help them understand how to multiply the numbers. When using the place value model they can draw groups of the topic factor and then repeat it the number of times that you are multiplying. You can also expand the number and then multiply it to create partial products, then add them together for the answer. |

Comments: This solution is very useful when trying to understand how to solve multiplication problems that involve multiplying a three-digit number by a one digit number. When a student gets the hang of using partial products to solve multiplication problems, finding the product will be easier. |

Comments: Multiplying with expanding notation is a way to break down the task to better understand the value and number systems. Using models is another concrete way to better understand the abstract process of multiplying. The suggestions are relevant and practical. |

Comments: I think this is a great idea and I would use it in my classroom. Using place value models is a great idea because it is something the student is already familiar with. I also like the idea of using visual activities to help the student to grasp the idea. Often times showing students how they to solve a problem visually helps them to understand better. |
