2-Digit Multiplication Dance By: The Digit Dancers
Once upon a time there were 4 little digits – 3, 4, 5 & 6. They decided they wanted to enter a dance competition. They put their heads together and chose partners. 3 & 4 would be partners and 5 & 6 would be partners. This is how it went:
The Dance Begins The Guys are at the top and the Gals are at the bottom. 35 – Guys x46 - Gals
Grab Your Partner & Multiply 35 – Guys x46 - Gals 210 • The dancing must start with the bottom right gal. • The first little gal (6) dances with guy (5) first. • 5 x 6 = 30 • Put down the 0 and carry the 3 to Guy (3). • The same little gal (6) next must dance with guy (3). So, 6 x 3 = 18 + 3 we carried makes 21. • The score is now 210.
We have a Problem!!! • All of a sudden unbelievable crying begins. • This poor little girl named Molly wants to be in the competition, but she doesn’t know how to dance. • Being the nice little digits they are, they tell Molly to step in and hold a place. • Molly becomes the most important person in the dance competition.
Let’s get back to dancing… 35 - Guys x46 - Gals 210 +140 Molly • Gal (6) is through dancing and so she will rest. • The next little gal (4) will dance. She must dance with guy (5) first just as the • first little gal did. • 4 x 5 = 20 • Put down the 0 and carry the 2 up above guy (3). • Now gal (4) will dance with the next guy (3) • 4 x 3 = 12 + 2 = 14 • Next score to record is 140 in front of Molly. • Now, for the final score! • Add the two scores together.
Now, for the final score…. 35 - Guys x46 - Gals 210 +140 Molly 1610
