Multiplication
Area model first, standard algorithm second; the area model is the same picture used for (x+2)(x+3) in Math 1. Students multiply by 10, 100, 1,000, by 1-digit and 2-digit numbers, estimate with compatible numbers, and solve multi-step product stories.

Students can
multiply by 10, 100, 1,000; multiply by 1-digit and 2-digit numbers; estimate with compatible numbers; solve multi-step product stories.
Ready when
by area model and by algorithm, with an estimate in front (~40 × 50 = 2,000).
Watch for
; partial products added in the wrong place.
