Multiply using Distributive Property

Describe your strategy and why you choose that strategy. Let’s Review Use any strategy to solve… 12 x 4 Describe your strategy and why you choose that strategy.

Let’s Review 12 4 5 Break apart 12 in different ways. 12 3 9 12 1 11 12 2 10 12 6

Let’s Review Are both models correct? How do you know? Which model do you prefer? Why? Think about how you use the area model for 12 x 4… 12 6 12 2 10 10 40 8 2 4 = 48 (4 x 10) + (4 x 2) = 48 6 24 4 = 48 (4 x 6) + (4 x 6) = 48

Let’s Review Use an area model to solve… 533 x 3 500 + 30 + 3 3 90 9 1500 = 1,599

Solve it a different way… 533 x 3 Can you break apart 533 a different way to solve… 500 + 33 3 99 1500 = 1,599
