One of the reasons it is so important to learn the basic facts of multiplication is so that we can do the bigger stuff. We are now looking at one by two digit multiplication using the partial product method. I like to model multiplication in a variety of ways and have found partial products to be a good starting point. Of course, the idea is to master the standard algorithm (which we will). Below is a step by step guide to partial product multiplication and, below that, a model we can use to demonstrate it using base ten blocks.
