3x Strategy: Extended

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

This worksheet extends the 3x strategy to solve larger multiplication sums. Designed for middle years students.

Learning Objectives:

  • Apply the 3x strategy to solve larger multiplication sums.
  • Use the 2x strategy as a foundation to solve more complex 3x problems.
  • Strengthen mental math skills for larger multiplication problems.

How the Activity Works:

Students use the 3x strategy to solve larger multiplication problems. For example, to solve 104x3, students first calculate 2x104 (which is 208) and then add another group of 104 to get 312. This approach helps students break down larger multiplication problems into simpler, more manageable steps.
