patterns using properties.
3.NBT.A.3
Multiply one digit numbers by
multiples of ten using strategies.
While working with multiplication in this chapter,
students will investigate patterns which will help to
develop algebraic thinking.
investigate the relationship between the
numbers in a multiplication equation,
which is a pre-requisite skill for division.
Students will also multiply one-digit
numbers by powers of ten. Modeling
using base ten blocks is a concrete way
to represent this. These models are also
used when multiplying with regrouping in
fourth grade. Students should also use
the area model and Distributive
Property to further understand
multiplying by powers of ten.
