Distributive Property with Partial Products Method of Multiplication • Multiplying 2-digit by 2-digit Numbers
Don't be scared! • You can do this
Let's start with a problem • I know you're a little short and funny looking... • But I meant a math problem • Let's go with 56 x 78
Expand your mind, man • Actually, you should put the two numbers in expanded form • 50 + 6 • 70 + 8
Set it up • So we're multiplying • (50 + 6) x (70 + 8)
Equality for All! • Since there are 4 numbers to deal with... • Place 4 equal signs under the problem
Order Up • Okay, the commutative property does state that order doesn't matter, but... • You should follow a certain order here because it's easy to get mixed up • So let's start with the ones place on bottom
Multiply the 8 by both numbers on top • Good idea to go right to left
Move Over • Now let's get to the tens place on bottom • Write the 70 down by the last two equal signs
Keep the pattern going • Multiply 70 times the ones place on top
And Going • Now multiply the 70 times the tens place on top
It All Adds Up • Now add up your partial products to find your final answer
So 56 x 78 = 4,368 • Here's a picture of your mother
