1. STEPS FOR MULTIPLYING A 2-DIGIT NUMBER BY ANOTHER 2-DIGIT NUMBER With Partial Products

2. Multiply with Partial Products STEP 1: Write one of the two digit numbers in your problem in expanded form and create two multiplication problems from it.

3. EXAMPLE: 4633 = 30 + 3 X 33 46 46 X 30 X 3 X 30 X 3

4. STEP 2: Solve the two multiplication problems.

5. EXAMPLE: 1 1 1 1 4646 4646 X 30X 3 1380 138 1380 138

6. STEP 3: Add the answers to the two problems together, making sure that you line up the place values correctly.

7. EXAMPLE: 1 1380  Partial Product 1380  Partial Product + 138  Partial Product 1,518 1,518
