What to Focus On

  • Multiplying by 10 shifts digits one place left.
  • Multiplying by 100 shifts digits two places left.
  • The number of groups and group size can be swapped without changing the product.
  • Swapping factors does not change the product.
  • Rows and columns are only different arrangements of the same total.
  • This idea helps in checking multiplication answers.
  • A product can be solved in different ways.
  • Breaking a number into parts can make multiplication easier.
  • Different methods must give the same answer.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

268 villagers each having at least 4 cows means the dairy cooperative has exactly 1,072 cows.

The number of groups and the group size cannot be swapped in multiplication.

Multiplying by 10 means just putting one zero at the end, and multiplying by 100 means just putting two zeros at the end, even for every number.

Memory Tips

The dairy cooperative gets milk from 268 villagers, each with at least 4 milk-giving cows

Swapping group size and number of groups does not change the product

Multiplying by 10 shifts each digit one place left

Multiplying by 100 shifts each digit two places left
