Lessons to Teach BEFORE Introducing Multi-Digit Multiplication

November 15, 2020 by Ashleigh | Leave a Comment

Most curriculums and textbooks make a lot of assumptions. That's especially true in math. For instance, in fourth grade, students jump right in to multiplying a 4-digit number by a one-digit whole number and then multiplying 2-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers. Years of experience
