Multiplication Algorithms

Part of Everyday Math requires students to learn different algorithms when completing multiplication problems.  Today, students learned about the "partial products" algorithm  which is a great way for students to conceptually understand multi-digit by multi-digit multiplication.  Although this may not be the strategy they ultimately choose to use, it's important for them to understand this method.
